CradlePoint MBR1400 Router Firmware 5.3.4

New features added in this release:

- Split DNS support under Network Settings -> DNS Configuration -> DNS Settings.
- Content Filtering can now work with HTTPS as well as HTTP
- Multiple Serial Port Redirector support. At the CLI, if a multi-port USB-to-Serial Port adapter is connected to the product, the ports can be individually selected as “serial 1”, “serial 2”, etc. Only one port is available at a time.
- Ability to send a Break command to a device attached to a serial port. Using the “serial” command at the CLI, a Ctrl-X will send a Break command to the attached device.
- CLI access via device web UI under System Settings -> System Control -> Device Control. This allows easy access to the router’s CLI, including the ‘serial’ command.
- LLDP. Added Model Name and Firmware Revision to the LLDP string.
- SSH. We limited the server cipher list to this subset: aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr

Additional UI/Usability changes:

- LPE, E products. Rather than displaying the modem firmware version, the modem package version now displays for more accurate update notification.

Important Note:

- Before upgrading to new firmware, it is always a good idea to save the configuration file from your current version.
- This firmware version will remove a configuration for version 3.2 or lower and will not try to keep your settings.
- Revision 5.2.0 was a significant change from previous releases. Updating from prior versions to 5.0.0 through the router UI or ECM will keep all current settings.
- Factory resetting 5.1.0 and then re-applying a saved configuration from a pre-5.0.0 version may not reset all saved passwords correctly.
- Downgrading from 5.2.0 or later to an earlier version WILL force a factory reset on the router.
- Saving a 5.0.0 or later configuration and applying it to an earlier version will change any non-default passwords to an unknown string.

About Router Firmware:

Before you consider downloading this firmware, go to the system information page of the router and make sure that the currently installed version isn't either newer or matching this release.

Due to the large variety of router models and different methods for upgrading the device, it is highly recommended that you read and, above all, understand the installation steps before you apply the new firmware, even if you are a power user.

In theory, these steps shouldn't be much of a hassle for anyone, because manufacturers try to make them as easy as possible, even if they don't always succeed. Basically, you must upload the new firmware to the router through its administration page and allow it to upgrade.

If you install a new version, you can expect increased security levels, different vulnerability issues to be resolved, improved overall performance and transfer speeds, enhanced compatibility with other devices, added support for newly developed technologies, as well as several other changes.

If you're looking for certain safety measures, remember that it would be best if you perform the upload using an Ethernet cable rather than a wireless connection, which can be interrupted easily. Also, make sure you don't power off the router or use its buttons during the installation, if you wish avoid any malfunctions.

If this firmware meets your current needs, get the desired version and apply it to your router unit; if not, check with our website as often as possible so that you don't miss the update that will improve your device.
