Hi, Thanks for this.

It is an interesting problem because we have a very large installed based of HW versions that cannot run version 7 firmware.
Will you provide a fixed 6.3.5s ?

Regards
Dana

Hi Dana

Yes the engineering team told me this morning that they are working on a 6.3.x firmware that will be compliant with Edns. This should be available soon.

Thank you for this updated software, it has allowed us to continue to utilize our investment in the peplink products for the time being. As DNS security continues to be a critical part of network infrastructure security, will peplink commit to continue to develop DNSSEC/EDNS/and DNSoverHTTPS for these products ? Just being “compliant” for the FlagDay deadline isn’t really a long term solution if we’re not actually utilizing the features as they are intended.

ALSO: can we assume that this current compliance fix will be rolled into all future releases (8.0+) ? Thank You

Hello @Erik_deBie,
Will this release be put into the Firmware list for InControl2 or will we need to use the custom firmware options?
Happy to Help,
Marcus :slight_smile:

Thanks James - that is good news about the continuation of Peplink engineering support for HW that isn’t capable of running 7.0 or newer firmware.

Kind regards,
Dana

Is this also included in the 8.0.0 Beta?

@SamuelNorris, please find the feedback below.

@mldowling We won’t make this release available in the firmware list in InControl2.
People will have to choose "custom " firmware and paste the URL to the firmware in the available field.

@WhereWolf The current compliance fix will be rolled into future firmware releases, it will be mentioned in the release notes when it is included.

Hi James,

do you have any ETA for this specific 6.3.x version ? We are impacted by the flag day, but not able to upgrade to the 7.1.2 version.

Thank you,

The build is complete and is currently going through Quality assurance testing. We are hoping to have this complete in the next few days and will then release the firmware.

Hi Peplink Team,
I can see that the 6.3.5 version has been released, but not for the “Balance 380 HW3-5” device.
Would it be available for this device soon ?
Thank you very much

Hi NSS,

Is there a version for the Surf SOHO line?

Is this 6.3.5 firmware still valid? I have a balance 380 stuck on 6.2.2 firmware. When updating it says invalid firmware

Thanks!
