@biffdiff Yes - updates for Hubs are only done when needed for essential reasons, especially on ISP supplied ones.

Not sure where you get 2022 from.  That version rolled out in the second half of 2023.

Firmware version:

v0.10.00.04201-PN

Firmware updated:

5-Jun-2023

 

Mine was a trails release, the bulk was Sept / Oct.

Thanks both. In these days of continual incremental updates on most things, I was just checking... and yeah... it was Jul 23.

Since I received my Hub Two I have only received these updates

Firmware version: v0.10.00.04201-PN updated: 30-Jun-2023

Firmware version: v0.08.00.08297-PN updated: 31-Oct-2022

Firmware version: v0.06.00.12134-PN updated: 16-May-2022

Delivered Firmware version: v0.05.03.07154-PN updated: Unknown

It is worth noting any Hub two in "Bridging Mode" will not receive updates as they are not contactable by CWMP (TR069)

I guess with Netgear routers having their woes, I just hope that Plusnet aren't guilty of complacency. Jab1 - ‘updates for Hubs are only done when needed for essential reasons….’ Rather smacks of Plusnet being reactive rather than proactive…

@biffdiff I don't use Netgear kit, nor Plusnet, but you will find all budget ISP supplied routers are treated the same - 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' comes to mind.

@biffdiff 

The Hub Two is a mature device, so the need for any functional updates is very unlikely, it is working as expected.

It is not unusual for routers not to receive further updates at some point.
