Today, Peplink has made available two new firmware packages targeted at its routers and access points, namely versions 6.2.1 and 3.5.2, respectively, which includes a huge number of new features, fixes, and improvements.

When it comes to the AP firmware, this version changes default SSID from “Open” to WPA2, and resolves the event where the device wasn’t able to associate to an SSID using WPA2 Enterprise authentication (after an extended usage period).

As for the routers, firmware 6.2.1 allows compatible models to make use of more than 30 PPTP connections and create a DNS record with custom IP Address, displays them on the OSPF & RIPv2 status page, fixes IP Spoofing protection, improves GPS reliability.

In addition to that, Peplink’s routers will also receive SNMP trap options for WAN, the ability to access webUI from a connected DSL modem, a new interface that handles DNS inquiries, additional channel selection support, as well as CLI router backup via TFTP.

Moreover, this release allows static routes to work on tagged VLANs, can determine which connections can access the router’s Web UI, CLI, and other control interfaces, and implements several other changes that are highlighted in the Release Notes below.

Last but not least, an important aspect that you should take into account is that you must first upgrade the access point and afterwards the router, as firmware 6.2.1 won’t be able to apply version 3.5.2 on APs running 3.5.0 or below.

That being said, from the links below, follow the one that best describes your device series and model, apply it on your wireless unit, and constantly check our website in order to stay “updated one minute ago.”
