Thank you. I will try. Preliminary question; I acknowledge the instruction say to have wired Ethernet connection with the router for this process. Location we have makes this a bit difficult, by doable if absolutely necessary. Can this alternately be done via WiFi?

Can you do it over wifi? yes
Is it something we recommend on the forums? not really. Reason why is when we see corrupt firmware issues, it tends to be from users who update over wireless or using the app. the best option is the hardwired option. But do you have to? No
