I am curious to know if WBS have recently updated firmware on iBurst modems [over the air], if you have a moment, please check the firmware version of your iBurst UTD or UTC modem, and if it is different from [post=174820]last known OTA UTD version[/post] or last known OTA UTC version [?], then please post the new version info in this thread...

Ok, then it looks like the UTD firmware is still the same as before?

 

[jmn]

Yes, unless there's been updates and I've not been updated yet (like last time)

 

[MrH]

Will the "over the air" firmware update work if you are connected through a nic via a router?

Reason I ask is that I'm sure I read somewhere about the UTD having to be connected to USB for the update to work.

 

[jmn]

Manual updates have to be done via USB, OTA updates just require that the UTx is powered and receives a reasonable signal.
In my previous location when the OTA update was done, my UTD toggled between base stations very often (sometimes every couple of seconds), so I received the update very late.
