Unfortunately, as I just hear, the manufacturer dropped support for
these machines. My supplier also only learnt it when he asked the
manufacturer for a new BIOS version.

Having said that, what is the current common wisdom for reliable small
CPE boxes that are reliable enough to be safely upgraded remotely, and
will be safe to upgrade for several upcoming releases?

Kind regards,
