The Firmware Over-The-Air (FOTA) user module is an additional feature of Advantech routers. This module will assure the correct firmware for cellular module is chosen, downloaded and installed into the router automatically. Only the firmware of the cellular module is updated (not the firmware of the router).

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 ...

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. ...

User Modules are now available on Engineering Portal.
As you probably know, User Modules are kind of a unique way how the functionality of router devices running Conel OS can be extended.
Well, it is not that unique that you can extend functionality of your device. But it is not common that you have a range of UM ready. It is also not that common that you have a multi-language SDK with examples available so that you can create your own User Modules. Last but not the least, our services always included ...

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:
