UPDATE 05/13/2020

We have new firmware in certification, for our AC line of modems.
This build brings a few fixes to the GUI functionality and updates to the backend communitcation and telemetry.

Ver. 4.5.8.43 GUI Fixes:

• Enable band steering toggle in GUI by default

For the Coda users, we are expecting a 7.1 test build later this month with a slew of fixes. More to come on that.

The new firmware includes the following features and enhancements:

• IPv6 enabled by default
• Security enhancements
• Fix to preserve LAN connectivity in case of HFC outage or loss of signal
• Addition of Wi-Fi Survey functionality
• Improved stability of WPS function
• Improved Wi-Fi performance

Wait. This program ended? I just replied a few PM to join the program. What's going to happen now with my flakey connection?

Hello Fido team.

I picked up my replacement modem today, the CODA model.  Current software version is 2.0.10.34T6. I would like to get the latest update installed since it includes the Intel traffic management patch.  If someone could message me that would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

Hi @FidoPamela. Thanks for replying regarding my drop out issues. Could you hook me up with the latest firmware patch for my new modem . Thanks!

Hey @Richardlewis32

From the *search bar * in the Community, you can simply put in FidoSolutions

From there, you will have the options to check the **posts or users**.. You can click on USERS

From there, you will find the FidoSolutions profile and you will have the option to send a Private Message.

Can you try that on your end and let me know if everything works?

[ambermclean78]

Looking to try this.  I'm desperate to get my internet working well.  It started with the 5G flashing in and out and now the 2G is doing it as well...I have so much running on wifi in my home, this has been endlessly frustrating for me.  Hoping this will fix it. 

[FidoCharles]
