SPECIAL NOTE: Some early manufactured units require an automatic firmware update for the initial Bluetooth setup to succeed. If you don’t plan to use the mobile app to set up your Route10, this will not impact you. Otherwise, you can perform automatic firmware recovery by plugging the Route10’s WAN1 port into a working Ethernet connection with Internet access, and hold down the reset button while plugging in the power cord. Once the top light is on, you can release the reset button, and then wait for the green light to flash. If there is a red light, double-check that your network connection has Internet access. If the light is still white after 5 minutes, the Bluetooth firmware was already updated previously.
Built for high-scale deployments, this release enhances routing flexibility, boosts performance under load, and further hardens reliability across the entire provisioning and certificate-renewal pipeline.
