Peplink Balance 380 HW5 Router Firmware 6.2 Description

Important Notices:

- SSLv3 POODLE Vulnerability (CVE-2014-3566) Addressed: A vulnerability in the design of SSLv3 has been made public. Firmware 6.2 addresses this vulnerability.
- Layer 2 PepVPN Profiles Need Reconfiguration: Layer 2 PepVPN is now easier to use and more flexible. However, PepVPN profiles created using Firmware 6.1 or below will need to be reconfigured in order to work in Firmware 6.2.
- Adjustment Needed for AP One AC Mini: In order for clients to connect to the AP One AC Mini using 802.11ac, you will need to make a slight adjustment. Please go to the Web UI and navigate to AP > Profiles > *your profile*. There, find the “5Ghz channel bonding” setting and change it to “auto”.
- PepVPN Will Appear Offline on Router Utility Version 1.3: For devices running Firmware 6.2, Router Utility 1.3 will incorrectly show PepVPN connections as offline. This can be addressed by upgrading to Router Utility version 1.4.

- Routing: When mixing authentication modes (none, text, MD5) while using RIP, the routing table will refresh continuously.
- Routing: When switching RIP authentication modes using the same password, the routing table can still be learned
- Routing: The active sessions of LAN VLAN hosts will not show up in the "Status"->"Active Session" page.
- Routing: When using RIPv2, a connected router will remain on the list of learned routes even after the peer router has been removed.

  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.
