LBR20 Firmware Manual Update --> is internet required to complete?
I updated LBR20 to 2.6.5.32 today and thought I'd bricked it...
Can someone who knows confirm whether the manual firmware install requires an internet connection to complete?
I did a manual install from a file on my computer over a wired connection precisely because my cellular connection is unreliable. After waiting more than 1 hour on the firmware update admin page, I finally gave up and logged out. Obri acted like a brick and afterwards and I could not connect to the admin panel. Not a happy experience. I finally hauled Orbi outside to give it one more shot with the best possible bandwidth. Then I was able to access the admin panel and was rewarded with a success message on the update. (Whew, not a brick after all.)
My guess is that Orbi can't finish the manual install without an internet connection. If this is correct, that's not a good thing because cellular bandwidth can't be relied upon in rural areas. I'd like to know so I can make certain to do any future upgrades in the middle of the night when the bandwidth is better.
