Updating your old beroNet Gateway to the latest beroNet OS

If you want to update the firmware on your beroNet Gateway to the latest version available, you can follow this guide to ensure that everything works properly.

With every Firmware Update, new configuration possibilities are added and bugs that lead to unexpected behaviour are fixed, so we suggest to always use the latest firmware.

We suggest going through the following upgrade path from old to current in order to prevent any potential errors: Older Firmware 2.3sp3 → 3.0.19 → 16.17 → 20.06 → latest firmware version
If anything should fail, you can do a Hardware Factory Reset, update to the last installed Firmware and try again. If you have reached the latest firmware, you can reconfigure your device or import the backup configuration.

Important Information for support on old firmware

In case that the firmware on your device is outdated and maybe even out of warranty, we sadly cannot provide free support if something does not work properly.

You can schedule an On-Demand-Support or a Premium Support Ticket with a beroNet technician in case you have problems with any of our devices.

A Hardware Factory Reset and installing 20.06, updating to 23.01 and then reconfiguring can solve issues regarding updates in most cases. More Information down below!

If you are on a 2.XX firmware and you want to upgrade, please update first to the stable 2.3sp3 firmware.

Update from 2.3sp3 to 3.0.19

Do not install the 3.0.XX Firmware from the Recovery Mode / Hardware Factory Reset when you have a 2.X Version installed! Use the Firmware Update Functionality instead.

If you are on a 2.3sp3 firmware and you want to upgrade, please update first to the stable 3.0.19 firmware. This process needs a bit more attention than usual.

  2. Reboot the Device (Management → Reboot/Reset)

  3. Update to 3.0.19 Firmware (Management → Firmware Update)
