LM1200 fails updating / checking firmware, no WAN feature

I recently purchased the LM1200 and found that the WAN feature is not enabled. I have attempted on several occasions to update the firmware by navagating to Settings > Software and Reset > Check for Update but I only receive the following error:


Software Update

Check for new software online:
Update Error

There was a problem updating your device. Please try again later.

The WAN port was a deciding factor when purchasing this device.
Is there any place where I can download a firmware version that has the port enabled and manually apply it?


Current version information:
Firmware Version:EC25AFFDR07A09M4G

App Version:NTG9X07C_20.04.07.06

Web App Version:LM1200-HDATA_03.03.103.189

Hardware Version:1.0

    John,

     

    Thank you for the assistance. Unfortunatly, I am still receiving the same error.
    I tried factory resetting with and without the SIM installed just to be sure and it still will not update itself.

    Please do factory reset and try again.

     

    If you still have the issue, I will sedn you the local FW upgrade package for you to upgrade your device using Web GUI.

     

    Thanks

      Hello John.  I have the same issue updating my LM1200-111NAS.  Would you be able to send me the local FW upgrade?

  • I understand this problem can be solved. I purchased an LM1200-111NAS and can still use the WAN. How can I fix this? It's possible to use it.
