wc7500 wireless controller will not load 6.5.5.18
I cannot load the latest software. It simply reboots to the 6.5.5.0, with the only visible change that the firmware upgrade is "In Progress" (but I told it to update immediately).
Also, I notice that the time it thinks is "now" is GMT, not local time...
Has anyone done the upgrade?
I told it I was in England (GMT) and I got it to update.
Sadly, this is the solution.

Of course, that is precisely what I am doing. I set it up to update the backup partition and then boot from it. I also tried this in two steps. Same result: It will not load the second partition; it always shows the partition is "Empty" and the update "In Progress" and the time is in the wrong time zone.
An "interesting" result. I rebooted the WC7500 and it did not come back for 28 minutes. As I was waiting on hold to talk to pro support for another RMA, it came back and showed that the 2nd partition had 6.5.5.18 (It has said "empty" since I told it to update *last week* until today). However, the "scheduled upgrade status" still says it is going to update tomorrow at 00:26:01.
