Hi AirSkeeter,
Welcome to the community! :)
Are you trying to upgrade to the latest firmware v4.3.5-3? If yes, I suggest you to upgrade the firmware in a ladderized manner. First, upgrade the firmware from v4.3.3-6 to v4.3.3-8. Take note of the file size of the firmware version you have downloaded (for example: firmware v4.3.3-8 is 24.2MB). Then, upgrade the firmware from v4.3.3-8 to v4.3.4-1 and so on until you reach the latest firmware which v4.3.5-3. Perform a factory reset after upgrading the firmware to the latest version then reconfigure the settings from scratch in order to start clean using the latest firmware version.
You can download the FVS318Gv2 firmware versions here.
