Thanks for the reply.
I am on windows and I followed the guide as you said and typed in the command as listed on the site (changed my file name obviously) however the response I received was that the cmd couldnt read from the local file?
I've enabled tftp.
I did have some success following the youtube video you posted. The program even actually said the firmware had been updated successfully, however my router still shows a flashing green power light.
I have updated it using 2 different computers with the same result.
I must be doing something wrong, right?
