Smart Hub 7 Pro - No FW Updates!

[mikefairgrieve]

Anybody else still sitting at  r3.8.24-R-1531355-PROD-1 from last year? Seen all the updated firmwares getting applied (although some a bit iffy) , just curious if anybody else is still waiting?

It's quite bad that these hubs aren't getting updated regularly. There have been a bunch of vulnerabilities in older versions of OpenWrt that these are based on.

Tempted to buy a Flint 2 and install native OpenWRT on it.

@ILikeCoffee Go for it buy your own and setup the best way and the best operating system that it will support.

I appear to be on r3.8.26-R-1595999-PROD-1 with my 7pro

[JimM11]

@widdowsonben Looking likely that is were you will be staying then currently.

[widdowsonben]

Yeh. Not sure what advantage the newer FW brings other than security? It’s a bit overkill here anyway as I’m stuck on a fttc line. 

[JimM11]

@widdowsonben An FTTC line with a 7 Pro Hub, so you must have an old VDSL modem in front of your Pro connection?

See from your earlier post's waiting on OR getting there act together for a FTTP connection, good news in my case anyway FTTP works well, now been on EE to Sky to Vodafone and no issues Fibre wise with any connection that way.

[widdowsonben]

Yeh it sits behind an Openreach modem. No chance of Fttp here for the meantime so stuck with this setup.
