MR 80 updating issue
I have the MR 80 Mesh system with 2 Satelites. I think there is a new firmware update, but app says I have latest firmware. Is there a know issue? I tried to search but didn’t see anything.

Getting a zip file download and it won’t take it in manual update! Trying to get the .chk file but just can’t get it to take it! Sorry I’m just not sharp! Just too old I guess!

You have to unzip that file to extract the firmware.
When you update with wifi, use the browser on the device, not the app. You'll have to aim the browser at the IP address for each satellite. One at a time.

What is happening when you send the .chk file to the MS web pages?
What browser are you using? Try MS Edge for Firefox browsers?
Got a family member or nieghbor that could help you out?
