Note
If your unit has an older version than WeOS 4.13.1 (e.g., WeOS 4.12.1), you
are not able to upgrade using WeOS ”pkg” installation files directly. You
first need to upgrade to WeOS 4.13.1 (or a later 4.13.x release) using the
methods described in
7.1.1.2
Keeping Primary and Backup Firmware Synchronised
It is recommended to use the same version for primary and backup firmware.
This ensures that your unit will have same functionality if it boots on the backup
firmware as on the primary firmware.
Therefore, when upgrading the primary firmware, you are recommended to up-
grade the backup firmware too. This section includes a 4-step example, where it
is assumed you wish to upgrade the primary firmware on a WeOS unit from WeOS
4.13.4 to WeOS 4.14.1, i.e., from image ”WeOS-4.13.4.pkg”
to ”WeOS-4.14.1.pkg”.
1. Prepare: (This step is not necessary if you did
and
during an earlier
upgrade, or if you have never upgraded your unit.)
Before upgrading the primary firmware, check that the backup firmware is
of the same version as the primary (here WeOS 4.13.4), and that the startup
configuration file is matching the firmware version.
(a) Startup Configuration file matching current firmware version (here WeOS
4.13.4): The simplest way to ensure that your startup configuration file
is in-line with the current firmware version is to click an Apply ”but-
ton” in the Web (e.g., Apply in the IGMP configuration page, see
), or to run ”copy running-config startup-config” in the
CLI (see
Note
From WeOS 4.15.0 and onwards, this step is no longer necessary,
as the startup configuration will then automatically be updated in-
line with the current firmware version. See also

WeOS 4.13.1 and later 4.13.x releases are available both in ”pkg” and ”img” format.
