== What actions do I need to take? ==
  −
You must upgrade the affected devices (table below) to the latest firmware before '''February 22nd, 2022''', to avoid service interruptions on AT&T 4G network.
     −
== Once Teltonika device's Firmware is updated ==
+
 
 +
''If  your device is already on the higher Modem firmware than in the table, but your Teltonika Networks device's firmware isn't the one that is represented above - you don't need to take any actions, device will work as usual''
 +
 
 +
== How to update the firmware of Teltonika Networks Device ==
 +
Following actions must be taken manually:
 +
 
 +
# Download corresponding firmware for your device from the table above.
 +
# In the WebUI, navigate to '''System > Firmware''' and upload the downloaded firmware.
 +
# Once uploaded - initiate the upgrade/update process and give your device some time to finish it.
 +
 
 +
== Once device's firmware is updated ==
    
Following actions will be performed automatically:
 
Following actions will be performed automatically:
# Fetching new LTE Modem firmware (20MB size) to Teltonika Networks device. This will happen automatically.
+
# Fetching new LTE Modem firmware (20-30MB size) to Teltonika Networks device. Firmware is being fetched from Teltonika's cloud and requires '''Mobile Data connection''' to be successful.
# Subsequent automatic update of LTE Modem firmware on your Teltonika device.

<span style="color:#ff0000">'''IMPORTANT:''' '''''when using Legacy firmware (older than RUTOS v07.xx.xx)''''' this process works '''only''' via Mobile Data Connection, i.e. '''router''' '''must''' '''use Mobile WAN''' as opposed to Wired or Wifi WAN.</span>
After the device firmware upgrade is complete. The automatic LTE Modem firmware update will commence.  
      
WebUI banner will indicate if the LTE Modem upgrade is still in progress or is finished.
