I know what the latest update is, what I’d like to know is there anyway to tell what version is in the WIU currently, if it is the old or had it been updated.

You have to follow the manual and access the Luci interface.

WI-FI DCS USER’S GUIDE 9
Luci
LuCI is a web interface for your module. Think of is as custom web page used exclusively
for accessing advanced set up and features in your WIU unit. To operate Wi-Fi DCS, most
people will not need to access LuCI. However, if MTH releases an update to your WIU firm-
ware, you will want to meet her.
Accessing LuCI
1. Disconnect all cables from your WIU (power, TIU, ENET).
2. Set the MTH/HOME selector switch to MTH.
3. Plug the WIU into an AC wall outlet.
4. Using a smart device or Wi-Fi capable laptop/PC, navigate to see the available wireless
networks and connect to the MTH_DCS-XXXX. The network name is printed on the
bottom of your module.
5. When prompted, enter the network key mthdcswifi all lower case. The network key is
also printed on the bottom of your module.
6. Open your web browser and enter the IP address 192.168.143.1 in the url address
line. This is usually the top text box in your browser. This will open LuCI, the MTH
DCS web interface.
Note: If your laptop is connected to the internet via your home network, it will attempt
to load your home page and timeout. After the timeout, delete the url in the address
line and type in 192.168.143.1 and hit enter.
7. Enter the password mthdcs and hit enter. Do not change the username from ROOT.
Note: The password is case-sensitive.
Once you login, on the home page, the firmware version is displayed. Notice in the firmware version 1.1 is listed.

Thanks Vernon
If you go to the Login page for the WIU, the current version is displayed without logging in:
This WIU is already updated to Version 1.1
