Hi there,

I was wondering if there is a way as a user to check what the software /firmeware version of my Beolab 18 is ?

And is there a list to see what kind of releases this or last year have been ?

I think this is done wirelessly via WISA if they are connected to either a compatible Beovision or Transmitter one. 

There is a manual update you can force to the Transmitter one that will update speakers if updates are available.

I have wondered the same thing about my Beolab 20s. Looks like I would need to buy a transmitter if I wanted to update the software. But how to know whether there is an update available? And how to know if the update would be needed, or desired?

From what I understand is that only the Beovision is updated trough internet, but not the Beolab 18 ?
My dealer did one last year manual with usb connection laption-BL18.

Does anyone know if the 5 Ghz problem with Apple Extreme and WISA already is solved ?


But what I also would like to know is, where can I check what the last update is ? Or the list from previous updates ?

I just tried the link to make sure it was working. On my phone it took me to a V1 page. On my computer it works. The page is the Transmitter 1 support page.

What does updating them actually do?

I don't know what the updates might do. I did try the download. It appeared to me that the last updates were in 2014. As My Beolab 20s are less than two months old, I assume they have the latest software version so I did not go any farther than the initial download.
