This new firmware release adds support for the final version of our new VDSL modules to the router firmware. It also brings various bug fixes compared to the October 2nd stable firmware release. And finally this release brings some significant performance improvements for the 5XX router series – depending on the setup, these routers now can bond up to 50 MBit/s instead of 35 MBit/s.
Please note: Beta versions of the VDSL module are NOT compatible with this firmware release, and the final version of the VDSL modules now shipping is incompatible with any previous Viprinet firmware release. If you wish to use VDSL modules, you must upgrade the router to this firmware release.
Please note: If you are using VPN Clients, we highly recommend updating VPN Hubs to this release. All previous releases contain a crash bug, where a certain pattern of VPN Clients connecting/disconnecting can cause the Hub to reboot.
This release is fully compatible with the October 2nd stable firmware release. It is therefore OK to keep running the Stable Firmware release on VPN Hubs, and only update VPN Nodes that need the improvements listed here.
Customers still running earlier firmware releases than the October 2014 stable firmware are advised to check the release notes of that release in detail before installing this release, due to a high number of improvements and bug fixes.
