Re: RS700 - new firmware version 1.0.7.96 released

No error message, after the router boots up it showed the old firmware version.

I tried the IOS app, it told me there is no new version available. 

Just now, I tried manual update again, this time from Firefox, and this time it worked ok, and I can see it's updated to 96. Not sure if that's a coincedence and trying again with Edge would work as well, but thanks for the suggestion FURRYe38!

@Viperion something similar happened to me around 6 months ago. I did a factory reset, and everything went downhill. Wifi stopped working, router interface didn't login. I did another reset (with proper old school, keep device unpowered, keep resetting the reset button style), devices stopped seeing the router altogether. 

After 1 hour, and maybe 5 factory resets, it started working back again. Since then, I'm scared to reset it.

We do staged rollout for every firmware release, so not every router could see new firmware when it looks for new versions. But manual upgrade still works (i.e. to download new firmware from the support site to a local disk, and then update the router with a local firmware file from the Web GUI)..
