Firmware file invalid or corrupted
I am trying to upgrade my router's firmware. I receive firmware file is invalid or corrupted when I hit the upgrade button. I see there is a convoluted telnet via Mac and TFTP method that someone use...
I'm seeing the same problem. Firmware version is FVS318Gv2_v4.3.4-2. Downloaded (twice) this afternoon using Firefox version 48.0.2. Attempted to install both times using a Mac direcly connected to the firewall and using same Firefox, and got the "Firmware file invalid or corrupted" message both times. Ideas, especially solutions, appreciated.
I am experiencing the same issue. My FVS318Gv2 is running firmware 4.3.3-6. I tried to upgrade to any newer versions (4.3.3.8, 4.3.4.1 or 4.3.4.2) and all failed with firmware file invalid or corrupte. I also tried multiple downloads of the firmware and none succeeded in upgrading my router. Modem had been reset to factory default settings and the admin password is the only configuration change I made prior to my attempt in upgrading the firmware. Please help !!
