Hout Bay firmware upgrade

Attention to Hout Bay DeepSouthers: I plan to upgrade firmware on all WUG devices this weekend. I will need access to all your NanoBridges to do so, but I’ll contact you directly if the logins I have don’t work. A time period for the upgrade will be announced soon - pls stay tuned.

For any questions, please feel free to ask. Thanks.

What does the upgrade entail? And do you only care about DS nanobridge users? :smiley:

Quite a lot. AirOS 5.5.2, Bird 1.3.9, firewall fixes, routing fixes, addition of basic QoS, and a bunch of tweaks to keep us sane.

Probably the most useful user facing change is that wuggers will be able to open ports in their firewalls via the GUI. Currently they have to disable their firewall, or ask someone (me) to do it the “hard” way.

Well, all Hout Bay users have only NanoBridges. Of all DS users, I think only 2 or 3 have something other than a NanoBridge.

Hmm firewalling sounds fun

id love to help if you need any

I think there are about 5 nanostations and 3 nanostation loco’s in the DS. Rough figure.

Hi. The firmware upgrade will take place on Sunday late morning - about 11:00. I’ll make my last minute announcement via the DeepSouth hub.

Shot, that’s more than I thought. Add one Bullet in Kommetjie to the non-NanoBridge count. :slight_smile:

Hi. The firmware upgrades are complete, and so far so good. Please shout if you spot anything awry.
