What's New in Firmware v4.9

Advanced VPN Control and Redundant Security

Having clear VPN tunneling policies improves network security. Firmware v4.9 introduces a new, more predictable tunnel grouping policy, giving you clearer control over which traffic goes through which VPN tunnel.

• Isolated tunnel groups ensure traffic remains strictly within each tunnel group.
• Multi-profile failover within groups automatically switches between profiles when failures occur.
• Redundant Kill Switches grant you the control to block all non-secured traffic on the group or global level.

Smarter Troubleshooting and Better Performance with DPI

Firmware v4.9 introduces Flow Control, pairing powerful traffic management with real-time data visibility. You can easily pinpoint bandwidth hogs and keep your critical applications running smoothly.

• Diagnose with Data Statistics: Identify the exact device/application causing a sudden ping spike during a company meeting, like 8K streaming on the family TV.
• Optimize with Quality of Service (QoS): Enable QoS to prioritize video conferencing and delay streaming packets.
• Optimize with Smart Queue Management (SQM): Enable SQM to intelligently distribute the bandwidth for smooth video conferencing and streaming.

Note: To prevent processing conflicts, SQM and QoS are mutually exclusive and cannot be enabled at the same time.

Securing Your Smart Home & IoT Devices

Firmware v4.9 brings a dedicated IoT network, isolating vulnerable smart home gadgets for better security as well as ACL for granular device traffic management.

• Native IoT Network support allows you to isolate smart home devices into a dedicated, secure environment without compromising your primary network's speed or privacy.
• Access Control List (ACL) lets you manage traffic by connection protocol, device address, and port.
