Trying to upgrade my Max Transit Duo (HW2) to the latest firmware 8.4.1 fails repeatedly with the event log saying:
“Firmware upgrade failed - Invalid Firmware”
so i went to download the firmware at the page provided: https://www.peplink.com/support/downloads/
however neither the page nor the links provided point to a hash for the downloaded .bin file. As an IT professional conscious about security, it is beyond wise to check the hash of firmware/executables not just to make sure the file has not been tampered with, but also to confirm its integrity during download/transfers. Hashes are provided by most (if not all) network equipment makers for this reason. So the question is where is Peplink’s list of hashes for firmware files? Is there a plan to bring Peplink up to current-day security standards regarding such critical files?
Thanks.
