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 ...
One other thought. in the past a couple of times I had noticed that the router was acting a bit flakey, so I rebooted it and it was fine (used to happen all the thime with my dlink gamesing router.
Based on what I did and people are now reporting I am wondering if the best chance might come from:
1. Power off the router for a couple min
2. Power on the router
3. Reboot PC to reaquire IP from DHCAP
3. Download new firmware and extract to desktop
4. From a wired connection, invoke the firmware update process from the console using the desktop file
Maybe?
I hope everyone is using a wired connection đł
