R212 Firmware Upgrade

middletg

Hi

 

Could someone please tell me where I can get the firmware upgrade for the R212.  I bought an R212 a couple of days ago to replace an old 3G MiFi that I had as we now have 4G coverage in our area.  While I get good download speeds of 30Mbs from 3 out of 5 bars on 4G, surfing the web is painfully slow as the browser (Chrome) constantly says Resolving Host... which I assume means it is doing a DNS lookup.  My diagnostics are:

 

Product nameR212-Z
Software VersionBD_R212V3.1
Web UI Version2.008.5513
Hardware VersionVer.B(T3)

 

I am hoping the 3.5 firmware upgrade will help resolve this.  Could someone please let me know where I can download this from and how to install it.

 

Thanks

You need to factory reset the device, then it wil see it. I had the same problem :Smiling:

Hi DaveCD,

 

Thank you for your the e-mail you sent me.

Unfortunately it contains the firmware version 3.5 not 4.2 or 4.3

Is there any way to get the 4.3 version of the Firmware for the R212 ?

 

Thanks,

Andrei

Hi pbnet,

 

If you right click on the "Download" button and then click on "Save target as", the firmware will begin to download.

 

Thanks,

Hi Matt,

 

The issue is not with the downloading of the file. It is with the version of the firware you provided. 

I asked for 4.3 or 4.2 and you guys sent me, once again, 3.5 !!!!

 

Thanks. 

@pbnet

 

Sorry the official firmware Vodafone UK can give you is the 3.5.

On the internet version 4.3 could be found.

This is not an official one and the source is not traceable. 

You do it on your owne risk.

The file I found was also not direct working, but if you rename the file, exact the same as the Vodafone UK 3.5. it works. so skip the 4.3 at the end.

Thanks JoëlledeBeer

 

I had the impression it was official - [Removed]

If you do a whois for this domain: the domain is from Vodafone Romania... so Vodafone is spreading bogus firware ? (as the one from this site does not work)

Hi pbnet,

 

Although we are under the same global umbrella, each country is run as an seperate entity. We do our own testing as different networks require different properties.

 

You can see all of our information around firmware here.

Thanks a lot Dave !

Hi Andy,

I too have received the version 3.5 of the firmware and as other members of this forum, I'm still experiencing connection issues with the R212.

I would really like to have version 4.2 or 4.3 (see here: http://www.oriunde.net/fwup.html - note that the 4.3 is broken) of the firmware.

 

Thanks a lot for your help.

Andrei.
