Is ipTIME Firmware 16.00.4 the Latest? 16.00.8 and the Newest Firmware of 248 Routers

Updated 5 min read

TL;DR

  • The newest ipTIME router firmware is 16.00.8, released November 11, 2026, for 112 models, with a fix for 1 security vulnerability.
  • Every model that got 16.00.4 or 16.00.6 also got 16.00.8, except the N702SE and the OUTBE3K, so a router on 16.00.4 or 16.00.6 has an update waiting.
  • Of the 219 discontinued routers on ipTIME's firmware status page, 50 got 16.00.8 and 147 have had no new firmware since June 2022.
  • Your router's version is on its admin page at 192.168.0.1, under the firmware upgrade screen of the admin tools menu.

As of November 11, 2026, the newest firmware for ipTIME1 routers is 16.00.8, released that day. If your router shows 16.00.4 or 16.00.6, there is almost always an update to install. ipTIME's release notes say 16.00.8 is for 112 models, access points and extenders included, and fixes 1 security vulnerability (CVE-2026-98432). The model counts below come from the 248 routers on ipTIME's firmware status page as it stood on November 11, 2026.

Check your version and update

  1. On a PC or phone connected to the router, open 192.168.0.1 in a browser and sign in.
  2. Open the admin tools menu (관리도구) and then the firmware upgrade screen (펌웨어 업그레이드). It shows the firmware version that the router runs now.
  3. If it is lower than 16.00.8, press the automatic upgrade button (자동 업그레이드 실행하기) on the same screen.

The status page lists the newest version for each model by name. But 10 models, such as the A2004V, A604GS and N2SR, are in the 16.00.8 release notes and not on the status page. For those, look in the download list of the 16.00.8 release notes.

From 16.00.4 and 16.00.6 to 16.00.8

16.00.4 came out on October 13, 2026, for 113 models, with fixes for 9 security vulnerabilities. 16.00.6 came out on November 4 for 113 models, with fixes for 4. Apart from the N702SE and the OUTBE3K, every router on 16.00.4 or 16.00.6 can move to 16.00.8. Those two models are not in the 16.00.8 download list, so as of November 11, an N702SE on 16.00.6 and an OUTBE3K on 16.00.4 already run their model's newest firmware.

Besides the security fix, 16.00.8 shows a notice on the USB device screen when a USB drive is connected as read-only. It also fixes EasyMesh and wireless problems.

Which routers got 16.00.8

Bars for the routers on ipTIME's firmware status page, split by when their newest firmware came out: all 29 models on sale have 16.00.8; of 219 discontinued models, 50 have 16.00.8, 4 Aug-Sep 2026, 18 Jan 2026 and 147 2022 or earlier (open full-size image)

All 29 routers that the status page lists as on sale got 16.00.8. Of the 219 discontinued routers, 50 got it. The rest of the 112 models in the 16.00.8 notes are access points and extenders (the status page lists them in a separate table) and the 10 models that are not on the page. ipTIME promises security updates for 3 years after a model is discontinued, but the status page gives no discontinuation dates, so it cannot tell you when those 3 years end. When router firmware support ends covers how to judge that.

For 147 discontinued routers, the newest firmware came out on June 2, 2022, or earlier. For 101 of them, the last firmware dates from 2015 (55) or 2018 (46), and the status page shows 0 updates in the last 12 months for all 147.

Models whose newest firmware is 15.36.6, 16.00.0 or 12.18.0

  • 15.36.6 (August 25, 2026): in the 16.00.0 release notes, ipTIME says the N604SE, N604E, N602SE, N2SE and N2VS get no firmware updates from 16.00.0 on, because of their 4 MB flash storage. For these five models, 15.36.6 is the last firmware. Only the N604SE, N604E and N602SE are on the status page, so the chart counts those 3, plus the N604Eplus.
  • 12.18.0 (January 15, 2026): 18 discontinued routers, among them the A1004, N604plus and N704BCM, show 12.18.0 as their newest firmware. The 12.18.0 notes list the security patch CVE-2025-55423, and none of the 18 has had firmware since.
  • 16.00.0 (September 16, 2026): the N604Eplus shows 16.00.0 as its newest firmware.

ipTIME has said that the five models on 15.36.6 get no more updates, so plan to replace them. safeuntil's ipTIME page shows each model's support status and when its updates end, marked as an estimate where ipTIME announced no date. A model page such as the N604SE lists replacements that still get updates, and the settings to turn off until you replace it.
