Trying to upgrade to latest firmware FVS318Gv2_V4.3.4-1
1) Reboot FVS318G v2
2) Navigate to Administration > Settings Backup & Upgrade
3) Browse to unzipped image FVS318Gv2_v4.3.4-1.img
4) Click Upgrade button
5) Within 2-3 seconds page reloads with connection reset
I tried using Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome all browsers produce same results. Any ideas how to upgrade firmware?

Upgrading via TFTP client did not work. TFTP could not establish connection.
Solution was to upgrade firmware via Telnet client.
Please note, this method requires TFTP server (not client) to be running on a PC. Once this is set up, telnet into router and upgrade via "util firmware_upgrade image_name.img TFTP_Server_IP" command.

Hi deadbeef,
Let me share the article below:
How to upload firmware to a NETGEAR router using TFTP
If ever you are not confident to follow the procedure on upgrading the firmware using TFTP on your own, I suggest that you open an online case with NETGEAR Support to seek assistance.
