FVS318N Firmware Version 4.3.4-2 will NOT complete the install.

OK... so I was able to update 1 of my two FVS318N firewalls to the 4.3.4-2 Firmware. However, the second... has been sitting at ALMOST complete for over an HOUR now. I'm sure that if I power-cycle it...

    Hello Dane,

     

    Actually Netgear Technical Support (via chat) and I were able to resolve this issue. It was the opinion of Arnold (Support) that doing a power-cycle reboot of the device was likely a safe thing to do after it had been allowed to sit for an hour (still showing update incomplete). The update was applied via a wired connection to the unit from inside the LAN rather than over a wireless connection. Sure enough... the unit rebooted correctly and came right back up with latest firmware applied.

     

    At this time I am pleased to report that the unit is functioning perfectly.

     

    Thank you for follwing up on this issue. It is deeply appreciated.
