Since January 2018, we have been using alphanumeric form of product serial numbers. An example of such number could be:

ACZ1100123456787

There are some ideas hidden behind the new serial number scheme but this post is about R-SeeNet.

For those unfamiliar with R-SeeNet, it is a legacy Router monitoring tool that is still being supported and maintained.

If you are using this tool, you need to update it via patch linked below to get reasonable level of support for the new serial numbers. Without this patch, the new serial numbers are not being displayed ...

As you know, Conel OS 6.1.5 was released before Christmas with a few usual exceptions (SmartFlex SR305, SmartStart SL302, SPECTRE v2). Now, this firmware is also released for SmartFlex SR305 and SmartStart SL302 routers designed for the North American market.

Pointing out a few notable changes:

• Fixes for multiple Wifi vulnerabilies (KRACK and other CVEs).
• All sensitive information in the text dialogs like passwords and pre-shared keys is now not visible in the UI so nobody looking over the shoulder is able to spot passwords.
• IPSEC fixes - improved stability plus compatibility with Checkpoint VPN ...

Early this year, a few vulnerabilities impacting inside-CPU code were announced.

While there is not a full disclosure available to us at present time, we can tell a few things now.

First, not all of the vulnerabilities are limited to x86 architecture. The ARM architecture is impacted as well.

While keeping this brief and understandable, the nature of announced vulnerabilities (CVE-2017-5753, CVE-2017-5715, CVE-2017-5754) lies in the problems connected with a few techniques used inside of the CPU.

The known impact is information leak via side effects of speculative execution. "Speculative execution" is nothing extraordinary. ...

New year, new bunch of fixes. Well, actually the new firmware was cooked before Christmas Eve so it was kind of a present...

To make a long story short, 6.1.5 is released for the majority of routers - usual exceptions applies (Spectre v2, SR305, SL302, see firmware distribution overview).

Pointing out a few notable changes:

• Fixes for multiple Wifi vulnerabilies (KRACK and other CVEs).

Conel OS 6.1.4 was released!

This release is the first one released in Engineering Portal. The Firmware including release notes and firmware distribution overview can be found directly in the product you are interested about under the tab "Firmware" at the bottom of the product page.

Note that you need to be logged in to be able to see firmware files.

This release is a small bugfix release, containing fixes primarily for IPsec and also a few security fixes together with a few improvements. See release notes for details.

As of today, all the supported Router products should be listed on Engineering Portal.

Also, all of the relevant documents like EU Declaration of Conformity, User Manuals, Configuration Manuals and Quickstart Guides should be available as well.

The structure we chose to present the products is coming from the generation of the device. Right now, we are supporting three generation of devices:

• A few ones out of the old v1 generation.
• Many of the proven v2 generation ranging over different cellular technologies (2G to LTE), including 2-cellular ...
