When my router updated to the latest firmware, the satelite did not update.  I did the update manually and it was fine.  Not sure why it didn't update automatically, it always has with past updates.  But it was not a big deal to do it manually.  Just follow the instructions in the advanced screen of the router interface and it took about 5 minutes to complete and link up.

I downloaded the file and tried again, with the same result.
