Router and Modem Firmware Upgrades
Posted: Fri Apr 17, 2020 12:43 am
Hello- I recently started using a CBA-850 and so far I am really impressed and like the equipment.
First question, I am on the recommended router firmware of 7.0.50 is there a reason not to go to .70 (last version before NetCloud requirement)? I am plenty happy to stick with the recommendation but would like to know what I would "lose" if anything.
Second question, the modem firmwares are all listed as current when I go into the admin page, however I can see on Sierra's website that there are newer versions. Is this just Cradlepoint being a little slow with offering the newer versions or is this also limited by not having NetCloud? If it would benefit me, can I manually update? I see an option but not sure if the files are readily available the same way I have just used the EXE files with my generic Sierra modems.
Thanks!
