Current version in both my 2x B618 as below. This may or may not be latest version as I haven't bought a plan for 6-12 months as these are backup internet devices.

Device name: B618s-65d
Hardware version: WL1B610FM01
Software version: 11.195.03.01.1375
Web UI version: 21.100.39.00.03

Awesome - Thanks. Exactly what I was after.
Interesting the firmware that Skinny ships these with is different and lower than the ones that Spark ship them with - 11.198.xx

Thanks

The Spark device I had was 11.193.xx back in February when I sold it, so it is possible the Skinny devices will update to newer version of firmware when I buy another plan in future.

Hi. I have a Skinny B618s -65d, purchased brand new from Skinny in Dec 18. I have renewed the plan every month since. I'm not sure if this is the firmware it shipped with, but there were no updates available when I checked for them in the admin page just now.

Software Version: 11.195.03.01.0375

Web UI Version: 21.100.39.100.03

Is that the same as your one @Jiriteach? I wonder why the same Spark model gets firmware updates and not Skinny? :/

Thanks. Yes I have the same firmware. Not sure the Spark version does get firmware updates. It just ships with different firmware which is 11.198.xx.xx.xx.
A little strange since Skinny is powered by Spark but probably differences in fixed line termination.
