What's new in the latest LB2120 Firmware Update?

[DeeII]

I love getting software update notices without any indication on what's been updated. 

Firmware/Software

• Firmware/Software not available for this model.

Anyone find a changelog anywhere?

Thank you Netgear for trying to charge for support for devices that are currently under warranty.

Hi Blanca,

Thank you for your reply.

The device is the LB2120.  This is a Netgear LTE Modem for Failover.  We have several at offsite locations.  Not sure what the firmware version is as the Netgear website has no information about it.  The reason we know there is an update is because the devices send text messages to us when that there is a software update.

I have the same issue.  I get message: 003 LB2120 4V028(Serial Number) software update is available

When I go to the support website, I get: Firmware/Software

• Firmware/Software not available for this model.

Is there a software update availabale?  Where is it?  What is it?

Blanca,

Thank you so much!!!  

I've updated one of our LB2120 to test already.

What is the suggested time to use in Keepalive? and is there somewhere we can read about the best use for this feature?
