Hi,

Can you please update my parents modem Huawei HG659. Details are:

Product type:  HG659

Hardware version:  VER.B
Software version:  V100R001C216B112

Also, what would you recommend for mesh networking that works nicely with this modem? We're having a really bad signal in the garage area. Will NETGEAR NIGHTHAWK MESH MK62 work? Thank you.
Cheers,
Carl

Hi @Shane ,

 

Thank you for the quick response, just seen some later firmware models above, guess they are all running on NBN/FTTN? I just have been having quite a few WIFI related issues recently (constant dropouts, etc) so just looking to see if it would improve with firmware upgrade. 

 

Thanks again!

 

Regards,
