Re: Failed Firmware Update WN3000RPv3 Wi-Fi Range Extender

I set up my friends booster yesterday, everthing was going well then it asked me to do a firmware update. After doing this, I can't connect to the booster and the power LED just flashes green.

The loading screen during the firmware update got most of the way round before the web page dropped out and showed "no connection" and the power LED was amber. I left it for all day but there was no change, so I assumed the firmware update had failed as it was only meant to take "3 to 5 minutes". Tried to reset it and now the pwoer LED just flashes green.

Was hoping to flash the firmware, mayve via tftp, or roll back etc?

You can flash the firmware via tftp. here's the procedure for how.

here's the support page for version 3. it'll have firmware, manual, etc.
