RAX80 firmware update failed due to GUI update
I seem to be having some version of this issue. I am hard-wired to a 10/100/1000 switch and getting to the router that way. It is not easily accessible to where I sit. No issues getting to it, either with the app or with browser. I've tried both ways.
It has been set to update automatically. Apparently it's not. When I try to do this by clicking "update now" it just tells me to wait and never updates.
Tried a few minutes ago with the app which told me to wait 2 minutes. 5 minutes later nothing had happened.

Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Perform a manual FW update using a wired PC and web browser by downloading the FW file as outlined here:
I would then factory reset the router and setup from scratch with out a prior backup configuration after the FW has been applied.
Makes me long for the days when Apple laptops had ethernet ports. 😕
Just add a USB to Ethernet adapter to the mac book. I use them on mine.
Hi billdavies
Please try again clicking "update now", it should work now, thanks.
Until yesterday. Someone read my post and now the router is able to update!
So it updated successfully then?
