"Check for Updates" in router GUI doesn't appear to be working
I'm logged into the router and under System>Firmware when I click the "Check for Updates" button it shows Firmware is up to date even though it looks
like i'm using firmware dated 20241115. Surely there must be a newer version by now. I'm not having any issues but the firmware seems pretty old.
I looked on the web site for firmware downloads but am really confused which one I need and installing the wrong firmware would probably brick the router
which is something I do not want to do.
Thanks in advance

@ragkag Looking at the support page for your router it seems you have the latest one. Make sure you use the links for BE550 PRO, not the plain BE550.

Hello @ragkag ,
Welcome to our community.
As DVair mentioned, 1.1.1 Build 20241115 rel.24012 is the latest version.
Currently we have not received any notification about firmware updates. The way we do firmware is that we only release a new version when there is a bug/flaw/vulnerability to patch or a new feature to add.
Do you have any questions about the usage of the router?

@Joseph-TP Not at this time. This is a new router for me and it's been working just fine. Just thought the firmware was prettry old.
Thank you

Hi @ragkag ,
Thanks for getting back to me.
In reality, newer firmware and more features don't necessarily improve device performance.
If your device is stable, you can continue to use it. Of course, you can keep the Auto Update button enabled to monitor for future firmware updates.
