CradlePoint AER2100 Router Firmware 5.3.0 Description

New features added in this release:

- VLAN Redesign under Network Settings / WiFi / Local Networks / VLAN Interfaces. This includes VLAN support for WAN interfaces.
- HTTP Proxy support was added under Network Settings / Content Filter / Upstream Proxy Settings. Proxying HTTPS traffic will not work transparently.
- ZScaler Internet Security added to the Network Settings / Content Filter / Cloud Based Filtering/Security page.
- LLDP support is added under System Settings / Administration / LLDP. It can be enabled for WAN or LAN, and devices that are discovered are shown under the Status / LLDP page.
- Additional options are added to the System Settings / System Control / Ping Test to be able to set the Packet Size and Don’t Fragment.
- Additional options are added to traceroute, including MTU discovery and a number of other features.
- Allow SNMP traffic on the WAN interface when IP Passthrough mode is enabled.
- WiFi changes add Airtime Fairness. Airtime fairness support for the 2100 has been added. Airtime fairness distributes available wireless airtime more fairly between clients of different speeds, resulting in better performance for more capable client devices. Airtime fairness is disabled by default. It can be enabled under the Advanced WiFi Settings page for each radio.
- Firewall integration with IPS. Network Settings / Firewall Configuration / Application Sets allows filtering support by type of Application configurable by Zone.
- Redesigned UI for Threat Management. Improved visibility and configuration of the 'Threat Management' categories and signatures. Added the ability to separately configure whole categories of signatures, as well as individual signatures. Added the ability to search (or filter) on the signature ID or text found in the signature description, like a CVE number.

Additional UI/Usability changes:

- MAC Address filtering by range, allowing a range of MAC Addresses to connect to the router instead of entering multiple host MAC Addresses.
- SNMP Password requirements when the router is in Advanced Security Mode are the same as for the Administration Password.
- Removed ZScaler from the Enhanced Enterprise License.

Defects fixed:

- Ethernet port auto-negotiation. Link speed configuration has changed to set the Ethernet port link speed to the specified value instead of auto-negotiation plus advertisement of a single link speed. If an existing configuration relied on auto-negotiation plus advertisement of a single link speed, the link might not come up depending on the connected third-party hardware.
- In CradlePoint AER2100 Router Firmware 5.2.3 we fixed a possible Man In the Middle attack while using ECM. The ECM client was not validating the certificate handed to it by the ECM server.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
