Security updates for devices stuck on older firmware

@WeiMing

When can we get security updates for devices stuck at older firmware and unable to update to the latest firmware?

@Jonathan_Pitts : Interesting you mention this. I recently sent a PM to @WeiMing regarding this very issue. There is an apparent disconnect between Peplink’s stated policy vis-a-vis “maintenance releases” and what’s actually happening. Now would be a very good time to issue the updates you mention – which would include new certificates so these devices can, once again, be used with Router Utility.

Yes I don’t feel comfortable running the devices with those

@Jonathan_Pitts : What is the antecedent of “those?” Not following you.

I guess my phone cut it off.
I don’t feel comfortable running the device devices with thoose vulnerabilities.
It’s my understanding that peplink continues to provide incremental security releases/firmware to devices that don’t receive new mainstream firmware.
Another issue is the router utility also doesn’t function as the built in certificate is expired.
