Hi Thornweb,
Welcome to the community! :)
It is not recommended to upgrade the firmware from v3.x.x.x straight to the latest v6.2.0.14. The advisable way is to upgrade the firmware in a ladderized manner. For example, v3.0.3.2 to v5.1.1.3 then from v5.1.1.3 to v6.0.0.15 and so on until you reach the latest firmware version.
Kindly access the articles below that I found online and follow the steps indicated:
