Re: Router firmware update

I am not seeing the picture yet but what is the current fw version on your unit? Here's the latest fw you can also upload the firmware manually.

Re: Router firmware update

i just saw the screenshot. The option to update should be at the very bottom of the page after the release notes.

Re: Router firmware update

If it was there, I couldn't get to it... that stupid search bar is not movable... I even tried changing my screen resolution, but still couldn't access any "button". That's a web design flaw... The important thing is that, with your help, I was able to manually update... which is much appreciated!

Re: Router firmware update

welcome @profilenone glad its working the other way around. must be your browser. i always perform the manual update because i have slow internet here you will never know when your internet is down and its uploading it might corrupt the firmware. Manual update is local file transfer only.  Anyways what is important is it fix now. 🙂
