New features added in this release:
- VLAN Redesign under Network Settings / WiFi / Local Networks / VLAN Interfaces. This includes VLAN support for WAN interfaces.
- HTTP Proxy support was added under Network Settings / Content Filter / Upstream Proxy Settings. Proxying HTTPS traffic will not work transparently.
- ZScaler Internet Security added to the Network Settings / Content Filter / Cloud Based Filtering/Security page.
- LLDP support is added under System Settings / Administration / LLDP. It can be enabled for WAN or LAN, and devices that are discovered are shown under the Status / LLDP page.
- Additional options are added to the System Settings / System Control / Ping Test to be able to set the Packet Size and Don’t Fragment.
- Additional options are added to traceroute, including MTU discovery and a number of other features.
- Allow SNMP traffic on the WAN interface when IP Passthrough mode is enabled.
- Additional TAIP support added, including multiple clients and servers (up to 4). Distance-based reporting was added.
- Enabled OpenVPN and VLAN support.
- Modem Multi-Carrier Software Switching. Allows for switching of modem firmware from one North American cellular carrier to another North American cellular carrier.
- Smart Operator Selection. Extension of this IBR6x0P feature to more models. When this feature is enabled and when used with a globally-provisioned SIM, the router scans for available mobile broadband networks then selects the best network based on user-configurable values.
Additional UI/Usability changes:
- MAC Address filtering by range, allowing a range of MAC Addresses to connect to the router instead of entering multiple host MAC Addresses.
- SNMP Password requirements when the router is in Advanced Security Mode are the same as for the Administration Password.
- Removed ZScaler from the Enhanced Enterprise License.
- Modified underlying attempts and retries for more successful Sprint LTE activation results.
Defects fixed:
- Ethernet port auto-negotiation. Link speed configuration has changed to set the Ethernet port link speed to the specified value instead of auto-negotiation plus advertisement of a single link speed. If an existing configuration relied on auto-negotiation plus advertisement of a single link speed, the link might not come up depending on the connected third-party hardware.
