Software Upgrades

The configuration file that we generate for your line will be based upon the latest software version. This means that if a router is running older software it will need to be upgraded before a new configuration can be sent.

Control Page Options

The control page will show if the current software version on the router and if it is up to date or not:

Router is on the latest version

Upgrade is available

If there is a new software version available then it can be upgraded:

Router action buttons. Upgrade button is only shown if a new version is available

Upgrading when in Bridge mode

when in bridge mode the ZyXEL router will not have access to the internet itself, and so won't have a way to upgrade in this state. To upgrade you need to reset the router by holding in the reset button. This then reverts the config back to our default, it will then log in, upgrade, then log in again and will get a new config sent to it. At that point it will be back to Bridge mode running latest software.
