Monday
Model: Deco BE11000  
Hardware Version: V20
Firmware Version: 1.0.5 Build 20240521 Rel 64384

I just setup a new BE11000 3 node WiFi system.  The satellites joined automatically with no confirmation needed.  What is to prevent someone from starting a satellite BE11000 in my driveway and gaining access to my network via the Ethernet port on the device?  Why is the firmware more than a year old!  May 2024.  There is no option to update the firmware anywhere in the app.  Very concerned on how secure this WiFi system is.

 

Thanks,

Rick

I found the firmware update but the latest version is still 6 months old!

  @RickMus They are preconfigured as a set to automatically power up connected as a mesh.  If you buy an additional unit they will be recognized but you as administrator have to allow it to be added to your network.

  @RickMus I'm afraid I don't have an answer for your "old" firmware concern.  If you find an issue with the current firmware then report it.  They are typically pretty quick at turning around a beta for you to test...
