GS105Ev2 firmwareupdate fails
Hi, updated from 1.x till 1.4.0.9 worked well. I'm very cautious so i didn't make large steps, only one after another. But the last one fpr 1.5.0.4 does not work. I strictly followed this up...
Hi,
Just bought the GS105Ev2 and ended up here after looking how to update firmware and bootloader too as it seems to be tricky.
I ended up finding that the latest firmware package available on Netgear website (1.5.0.5) doesn't contain bootloader update nor allows to update it. But firmware package 1.5.0.4 does !
So to simply update firmware and bootloader to the latest versions:
- Update firmware with 1.5.0.4 with ProSafe Plus / reboot
- Connect to GS105Ev2 web gui, it will ask to update booloader, provide the bootloader update requested and contained in the package, it's GS105PE_loader_V1.4.0.5-VB.bin in my case / reboot
- Update firmware with 1.5.0.5 with ProSafe Plus or web gui / reboot
Et voilà
Should this work on the GS105PE? I upgraded the frimware on 2 of mine but I didn't get the bootloader options and its running the old bootloader? They seem to be working, what issues does the wrong bootloader verision cause?
I should have been more clear on my last post, I did try the /loader_upg.htm but it does not load a web page.
