Compatibility with UISP Fiber 4.6.0?

[cdalvaro]

Has anyone tried to update to UISP Fiber 4.6.0 version?

If so, how was the process? There was any issue after the update?

Thank you in advance!

I've updated to 4.6.0 but since 4.4.2 it seems we're unable to change the mac address as it reverts back to the original hardcoded mac address. If I downgrade to anything below 4.4.2, it brings back the modified mac address and it works with my ISP who authenticates with serial/vender + mac address. If your ISP only requires the serial to authenticate then it still can be changed on 4.4.2+ firmwares it seems from my testing atleast.

Thanks for the reply I guess you run the config tool after the update to 4.6.0, right?

if you've changed the serial prior to 4.6.0, I don't think you need run the tool again since the serial does seem to persist from what I can tell. I mean, the only way you'll find out is by updating and once it reboots check if it connects to your ISP. The one that I see doesn't persist after updating to anything above 4.4.x, is the MAC and so far I haven't been able to write a custom mac on anything above 4.4.x.

I saw problems changing the Profile(from 4 to 2 for instance) then the SN is changed to default. All that with version 4.3.1. So I had to run the tool again. That's why I'm asking if the tool was rerun after the update

I have encountered this with my UFiber Loco. 4.3.1 works, and takes the flashed MAC address, but 4.4.2 and 4.4.6 do not, and they revert to the hardware MAC address.
