Searched the forum and found various links to various updates ..... but which is the latest ?
So before I mess about trying to update, can anyone confirm what is the latest firmware version released by Plusnet is & where I can obtain a copy ..... or even better can Plusnet support update this for me remotely !
Thanks.

@ dai ... I know it is frustrating that these firmware updates haven't been rolled out .... only got my router last week so would of been nice if it was supplied with a more up to date firmware version!
Thanks.

Quote from: dai Why dont Plusnet automatically rollout these firmware updates?
Are you suggesting that Plusnet should automatically roll out test firmware before it's fully tested and released? I'd view that as a highly irresponsible action!
8.4.4.J is the latest released version.

All you got on the forum was people moaning they hadn't been updated yet & when it was pointed out to them there area hadn't been done yet they just moaned even more.
Unless it's a security update for the router then it should be up to the user to update it IMHO.
Maybe PlusNet could send an email out letting user's know there is a new firmware available & what changes it will bring to the equipment & then let the user decide if they want to update it.

I think O2's version of the 582n is "dual bank", with space to store 2 separate firmwares, for safer upgrades. Plusnet's model doesn't. DANT-1 vs DANT-T models.

I personally think that the best way is only to up date if it was either a security issue or a user is having a problem that the update supposedly fixes.
Eg, some users with 8.4.4.J on 20CN exchanges have disconnect problems which 10.2.2.B seems to fix.
Others may want an update because of some newer features, assuming they don't want to use the USB port if they have one.
It comes back to the old saying, If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

We have tested it now and are happy with it. We don't have a way to push it to everyone and wouldn't want to. The router is not dual banked so if something goes wrong with the upgrade there is no going back. If customers request it, we are able to push the firmware to their specific router. Alternatively, we have made it available for people to do it themselves. We will eventually manufacture routers with 10.2.2.B already installed.
