Try Beta Firmwares

We often release Beta firmware and release candidates that any one can try. They can be downloaded from here

  • Files names with FON2202 are for the Fonera 2.0g, the one with FON2303 are for the Fonera 2.0n
  • Files ending with .image are to be used when flashing from ssh or fonflash.
  • Files ending with .tar.gz are made to flash from the Web interface.
  • DEV stands for developer images.
  • USER for end user images.

For firmware update instructions, checkout this page.


Developer Mode

For each firmware we provide an 'end user' and a 'developer' image. Developer images provide additional features:

  • The possibility to access the Fonera using the ssh protocol.
  • To install third party plugins, that are not in our plugin repository.
  • Some beta features are available in the development version of the firmware before making their way to the main firmware.


Developers Community

Our development community, called fonosfera, provide set of tools so everyone can get involved:

  • fonosfera blog keeps you updated about the work made on the Fonera 2.0 firmware: Beta release, new plugins, etc.
  • fonosfera wiki centralize developer oriented documentation.
  • fonosfera SVN is public and has the latest source code of the fon-ng firmware. Independent developers can get a folder with writing privileges to develop their plugins upon request.
  • fonosfera mailing list provide support for advance use of the Fonera 2.0 and allows independent developers to get in touch with FON ones as well as with each other. You have to subscribe to be allowed to post.
  • Freenode #fonosfera Many Fonera 2.0 developers and users meet each other on IRC.
  • If you have good reason to not make your communication public, you may contact directly the developers writing to fonera20 [] fon.com Keep in mind that most of the time the mailing list will be more useful as the answers will be public and can benefit to other developers.
