They won’t update via the browser connected via WiFi and read on the community I need to manually upgrade to v2.2.1.212 first before trying the latest version.
Tried this but connected via WiFi and not wired and it failed with an incorrect file message.
Support would only say ‘wired is much preferable’
I need to find a wired laptop because I am on a Mac with USB C ports only
So....is my approach right and it is just matter of upgrading manually via the browser via a wired connection to v2.2.1.212?
Thanks in advance...

Okay I need some help pls...
I am connected via ethernet to the RBS50 satellite, I am on FW V1.4.0.18
According to the tips and tricks if on a V1 FW I should be going to RBS50-V2.0.0.74
Downloaded and uploaded that but get a "This firmware file is incorrect!" error.
What am I doing wrong?
