Never update firmware with stupid and unreliable apps. Also, never use WiFi to update the firmware unless you want a bricked router.
Use a wired connection and go to http://routerlogin.net or http://192.168.1.1 and manually update the firmware

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.
