Firmware check error
When I try to update my router firmware, I get a “firmware check error”. I tried rebooting, but I still get the message
- Mar 20, 2019
Was trying to update via the app, but getting an error message. Had to use the directions for manual update and it worked. Still not sure why I got the error on the app, but will do manual updates from now on.
