Firmware 8.3.0 RC 4

Looking at models that will no longer get firmware updates concerns me some. I have a BPL-310X-GLTE-G Hardware revision 3.

Will this unit continue to get firmware upgrades? Thanks.

Lai,
I get build5117 for both RC3 and RC4 even after your update. What is the build number for RC4? Thanks.

I believe you are referring to the firmware "
fw-max_br1mk2_hotspot_sohomk3-8.3.0-build5117.bin
", and this is RC 4.

Interesting. That’s not what we see. Here’s what we have available on a 20X we just upgraded: RC3 (build 5300) and RC4 (build 5305.)

Sometimes it is helpful to talk to the router gently and in soft, soothing tones. I’m wondering if you tried that? It’s possible you may have done something to offend it.) ;<)

A customer on whose router we installed RC4 at their request has observed that a difference between 8.2.1GA and 8.3.0RC4 is that wi-fi clients that once connected via 802.11AX now only connect using 802.11AC. Even newer, rather capable clients such as Apple iPhones and iPads no longer are connected via AX.

Multiple Peplink AX APs are in use at this location.

We just checked and confirmed this observation. Anyone else see this?

I had a similar problem on my B20X throughout the 8.3.0 process… each 8.3.0 update would not work (immediate reboot after upload)

You can either roll back to 8.2.1 each time…

ticket 22120097 is open for this.

I finally installed 8.2.1 twice and then upgraded the other slot to 8.3.0RC3 and finally 8.3.0RC4 would update from RC3. We will see on the next upgrade if that has permanently broken the cycle of issues or it is related to the firmware position#.

The 310 is an older model, different to your 310X. The 310X is a current model that is absolutely still getting updates.

Could I get some more info on this? I am very keen to be able to use radius as an authentication method for captive portals…

We do see the problem of upgrading 8.3.0 RC4 with Balance 20X. We are investigating it at the moment.

Rick,

I upgraded my SDX Pro (An AP Controller of AP AX) to 8.3.0 RC4. But I can’t reproduce the problem here.

Can you help to open ticket for us to check on your AP and AP Controller?

Thanks.
