Part Number: WL1837MOD

Tool/software: Linux

Hi Support,

is it possible to update FW of WL1837MOD to newer version FW Rev 8.9.0.0.76 (PHY Rev 8.2.0.0.240) keeping old SW version SW Package R8.7 SP2?

Thanks and regards,

Alberto

Hi Alberto,

Yes, it should work ok, but I suggest you update also your supplicant in case you want the WPA2 crack issue to be adressed.

Eyal,

it seems that upgrading the FW is solving the issue. Can you kindly clarify if moving from 8.9.0.0.69 to 8.9.0.0.76 is in any way influencing the WL1837MOD behavior with different temperatures?

Thanks and regards,
Alberto

Hi Alberto,

No, there should be no difference with regards to the hardware behavior.

Best Regards,
