Firmware update

hydrus — Thu, 27 Jul 2023 14:15:49 GMT

Hi,

I've resurrected the Plusnet supplied router, as the replacement Draytek I used appears to be in the process of dying.

The firmware in the Plusnet router is probably quite old:

1. Product name:	Plusnet Hub
3. Firmware version:	Software version 4.7.5.1.83.8.217 Last updated Unknown
4. Board version:	Plusnet Hub OneI

Is there a method of updating the firmware, if indeed there is a newer version?

Thanks,

Mark

@hydrus There is definitely a newer f/w, but your version is too old to update from.

@jab1 Thanks for the info. I suppose I should be glad it works at all!

Best,

Mark

I would try a different PSU "brick" on the Draytek.

My Draytek says 12 - 15v and 2A so anything similar (with the + & - the right way round) is worth a try.

@markhawkin Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check my stock of old transformers and see if there is something suitable.

Best,
