Firmware - peplink Pepwave MAX Series User Manual

25.2 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.
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.
If the firmware is rolled back from 5.x to 4.x, the configurations will be lost.
