R7960P firmware not upgrading
I have attempted multiple times to upgrade my current firmware, V1.4.1.44_1.3.5, to V1.4.1.50_1.3.10 and it fails. I have tried letting the router update itself and also downloading upgrade zip file ...
We are working on a fix for this issue but a workaround is trying to load the new firmware via TFTP I linked how to do this below.

I tried the TFTP method. It wouldn't work for me, even after I factory reset the router and a clean install of windows.
The router never initiates the upgrade. It's almost like the user does not have access to write in that partition. Hard denial and reboot so you cant access the logs or any elevated privilege.
