Impossible upgrade

Our FVS 336Gv2 routeur is running an old firmawre version : 3.0.9-02

After uploading the latest version, (4.4.3-6), unzipping the file, the Upgrade button processes (apparently) the .img file and reboots.

But it remains in the old firmware version...

  • OK, furthermore, the factory reste will change its IP to 192.168.1.1 as this sub network is 192.168.2.x ; I'll do it next time I go in this lovely region of Pau (France) !

    Thanks !

    Hi Kerebel,

     

    Welcome to the community! :) 

     

    Since firmware v3.0.9-02 is an old firmware version, I suggest you to upgrade the firmware in a ladderized manner.  First, upgrade the firmware from v3.0.9-02 to v3.1.1-08.  Then, upgrade the firmware from v3.1.1-08 to v4.3.1-18 and so on until you get to upgrade to the latest firmware v4.4.3-6.  Be reminded to perform a factory reset on the FVS336Gv2 after upgrading the firmware to the latest version then reconfigure it from scratch in order to have a clean start using the latest firmware.  

     

    You may download the firmware versions for the FVS336Gv2 here.  

     

     

    Regards,

      Thanks for your prompt answer.

      As this routeur is located in a remote site, I suppose it's recommanded to upgrade it on site and not through our VPN from the head quarters ?

        Kerebel,

         

        It would be best if you perform the firmware upgrade on-site so that you can have physical access as well as you could observe the behavior of the LED lights of the FVS336Gv2 as you proceed with firmware upgrade process.
