21.2 Firmware
Pepwave router firmware is upgradeable through the web admin interface. Firmware
upgrade functionality is located at System>Firmware.
There are two ways to upgrade the unit. The first method is through an online download.
The second method is to upload a firmware file manually.
To perform an online download, click on the Check for Firmware button. The Pepwave
router will check online for new firmware. If new firmware is available, the Pepwave
router will automatically download the firmware. The rest of the upgrade process will be
automatically initiated.
You may also download a firmware image from the Peplink website and update the unit
manually. To update using a firmware image, click Choose File to select the firmware
file from the local computer, and then click Manual Upgrade to send the firmware to the
Pepwave router. It will then automatically initiate the firmware upgrade process.
Please note that all Peplink devices can store two different firmware versions in two
different partitions. A firmware upgrade will always replace the inactive partition. If you
want to keep the inactive firmware, you can simply reboot your device with the inactive
firmware and then perform the firmware upgrade.
Important Note
The firmware upgrade process may not necessarily preserve the previous configuration, and the behavior varies on
a case-by-case basis. Consult the release notes for the particular firmware version before installing. Do not
disconnect the power during firmware upgrade process. Do not attempt to upload a non-firmware file or a firmware
file that is not supported by Peplink. Upgrading the Pepwave router with an invalid firmware file will damage the unit
and may void the warranty.
Important Note
If the firmware is rolled back from 5.x to 4.x, the configurations will be lost.
