Firmware Updates Frequency
-
I have had my Alien for 6 months and I really like. I am running the 3.4.1rc2 beta firmware as it seem to fix some issues I was having. My question is, I would think there would have been some firmware updates or releases in the time I have owned this High Expensive router, but there has not been one so far. At what rate should we expect firmware releases?
-
@Disco-Pymp hi, firmware 3.4.3rc0 is released a while ago.. it fixes a lot of problems for me, you should try it
-
@dexx64 How do we get firmware version 3.4.3rc0? my alien is on 3.4.1 and it says its up to date. Thanks!
-
@James-F you have to use a computer to login into your alien.. then you can enable download beta firmwares..
-
Thanks! I was able to do that a few minutes ago...hopefully I will start receiving the beta firmware updates.
-
Where can I view the changelog for beta updates?
-
@dexx64 Well, I am currently on 3.4.1rc2 and I do not have BETA firmware downloads checked currently. Are there any stable versions above 3.4.1rc2.
Currently it only sees 3.4.1 as the latest stable version.If I enable BETA then the router sees 3.4.3rc1 but are the versions newer than mine that are stable releases?
Once you enable BETA and install a BETA does it only see BETA firmware(s). Do I need to downgrade back to the stable to see other stable releases?
Let me know,
Thank you,
Disco

@hellot1M good question. I was just wondering that also. It would be nice if they just had an old fashioned download section on the site with details.
-
@Disco-Pymp 3.4.3RC1 is the latest BETA, 3.4.1 is the latest official release
-
@dexx64 Hi dexx64
You have to be kidding me? So back to the original question.
How long do they test firmware before they release it to "Official" status?

@Disco-Pymp we are the beta testers
the EU Alien unit isn't available in stores yet... that's why i have (and other people too) a beta sample sticker on the bottom of the device
