      I just tried to update the firmware on my 2100 unit, to the latest available online stable version. It appeared to work as after sometime, I received a successful update status. The system then said it would reboot in 90 sceonds and never did. That was an hour ago. I just rebooted the unit and now I cant get a DHCP lease or connect to the unit.

      Can someone point me to the USB dive method of forcing a firmware rollback or update, along the the instructions?

      Need to geet this working asap.

      thanks

        Ideally, connect to the console and see what it says before powering off.

        Best of luck!

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.
