Venus OS v3.75 is now available

v3.75 is almost equal to v3.74. It differs in an test for production.

  • And restores the Wifi connection status (to be the same again as in v3.73).

This backports some fixes from the v3.80 branch:

  • Fix VE.Bus ESS systems sometimes remaining in bypass when combined with an external transfer switch (S99 firmware).
  • Fix a VE.Can issue where the address claim procedure would not complete under certain conditions (BUS-OFF), resulting in the GX no longer transmitting data on the network.
  • Don’t report to VRM that devices can be opened in VictronConnect if that is not supported.
  • Update linux to v6.12.90.

One of my two Cerbo GX updated automatically to v3.74 and didn’t show actual and available WLAN-connection(s) correctly any more - unless being connected to WIFI somehow. Problem doesn’t exist with v3.73 and I was lucky to restart with the old version which was kept in memory as backup.

I can confirm that, in the list of wireless networks, the network to which the GX device is connected is shown with a disconnected status. However, the Wi-Fi connection is in fact active and operating normally.

Same problem here with my Ekrano GX and 3.74.

It has the green checkmark beside the Wi-Fi network I normally use, but says it is Disconnected.

I tried a couple of things like re-enter the network password, and it still does not connect.

I rebooted to 3.73 and it works.

v3.75 – The show goes on!

Back to 3.55 – stable, practical, and free from unnecessary fuss.

OMG, can you release just one version without breaking something that worked in the previous one?
That’s exactly why I don’t rush to update myself, and why I don’t update my clients systems either.

With v3.75 I get the same result - my network shows as Disconnected, but it is connected.

I am am able to use the Remote and make this screen shot:

So obviously the network is connected and working.

Can confirm the same behaviour. Shows disconnected, but is connected indeed. Otherwise I couldn’t conect remotely.

So, it appears the WiFi issue is related to the v2 gui. The v1 gui shows connected to WiFi as normal, the v2 gui shows no connection. However, in the v1 gui the WiFi networks appear duplicated.

:man_shrugging:t2:

Additionally, the WiFi networks are duplicated in VictronConnect but also shows connected

The Wifi status should be restored. My apologies and thanks for reporting.

Hi @jeroen , I don’t mean to be picky, but Firmware - Victron Professional has no mention of firmware 3.74, nor 3.75, and there’s no mention of either in the change log, however, Index of /feeds/venus/release/images/einstein has 3.74, but also two versions of 3.75 and also now an incorrectly named swu of the same date and time as the second 3.75 version? Perhaps there’s still a bit of housekeeping to do?

That is already done. And the professional changelog is for tomorrow.

My colleagues have already started calling me, asking what’s going on with their customers. Wherever automatic updates were enabled, the wireless connectivity has started dropping out. I suspect this is only the beginning.

Looks like there is a new 3.75 - 20260624163305 - (the earlier was 20260624132535). Will test and report back.

Everything is the same there.

Yes, it is gone. You need 20260624163305.

Updating from 3.75 32535 to 3.75 633305 failed. Rebooted to 3.73, and did the Update again. I am happy to report the new 20260624163305 is showing the Wi-Fi network correctly as Connected.

Thanks @jeroen - please thank your colleagues.

Yes, it has been restored in this build.

I have official version 3.75, Cerbo GX MKII. No issues with wifi
