Firmware check error
When I try to update my router firmware, I get a “firmware check error”. I tried rebooting, but I still get the message

Was trying to update via the app, but getting an error message. Had to use the directions for manual update and it worked. Still not sure why I got the error on the app, but will do manual updates from now on.
