There’s only one firmware update in this release: add the functionality to display system logs in the remote management interface.
However, the remote management interface was out-of-sync with the firmware in the previous few versions. If you want to use the remote management interface to manage the router, then you need to update to this version.
This release supersedes v2.7.9, v2.7.8 and v2.7.7, i.e., if after upgrading you want to roll back, you’ll roll back to v2.7.6.
Upgrade steps:
- Have your configuration backup ready. Create a backup file for your current configuration, if you don’t have one.
- Click the “Check for Updates” button in the System Settings page. Follow the instructions to upgrade.
- After successful upgrade, create a new router settings backup file from the System Settings page and save it in a safe place.
