Firmware Update: Ubiquiti USG 4.4.29

Ubiquiti has released new firmware for its wireless products that fall in the USG series. USG stands for UniFi Security Gateway and these products are intended to be used as a router. They include a powerful firewall, vlan options and vpn capabilities, and can be configured with the UniFi Controller, which can also control access points and switches, for example. The version number of this firmware is fixed at 4.4.29 and includes the following list of changes:

[USG] Firmware v4.4.29 now available

Note: If you are running a 5.8.x or 5.9.x controller, you should upgrade to 5.8.30 or 5.9.26 (or newer if available at the time you’re reading this) prior to upgrading USG.

Changes since v4.4.28 as follows.

• Fix crash in speed test encountered when a speed test server refused or abandoned a connection. The same underlying problem exhibited itself in multiple completely different ways. For some, USG went to disconnected in the controller. In other cases, USG was re-adopting repeatedly, or showed up an inform error.
• Restore logging of specific error conditions from controller. Recent USG, UAP and USW firmware versions would log “decrypt error” for all error responses from controller.
• Fix image/css path issue introduced in 4.4.28 in USG’s local web UI.
• Upgrade Suricata to 4.0.5. Don’t mind the “4.0.0-dev” version string you might see in the logs, it’s 4.0.5 and future versions will show the actual version in place of that instead.
