Upload Firmware before Upgrading

FlavioB · ‎12-20-2011

Hy everybody. On a FGT80C I have uploaded MR3 Patch3 and actually it is running MR3 Patch2. When I look at the Firmware page, I see: FGT80C-4.00-build496 (uploaded today) FGT80C-4.00-build482 (dated 09/30/11) Now, how may I upgrade to the latest firmware? Is a simple reboot of this device sufficient, or is there an other procedure which I should follow? TIA and kind regards, F.

If done from the GUI, the alternate firmware should say " [Upload and Reboot]" in a link after it. Just click and go. Make a backup first, just in case.

Hy Bob, thanks for your reply. I don' t have any " Upgrade and Reboot" link, I guess you' re pointing to the " Upgrade" link above the Firmware List, right? Regards, F.

You' re using the newer version of the firmware. I' m not familiar with the options there. Perhaps someone else will chime in.
