Title: Unable to update to firmware 1.21
Post by: gbriggle on May 22, 2009, 04:14:18 AM

I have downloaded both v1.21 versions, using two different PCs and networks in an attempt to update the firmware for Shareport capabilities.  Everytime I attempt to update the DIR-655 A3 hardware, it gives me a message indicating the file may be corrupt or for a different type...

I successfully updated to v1.20.  Ideas?  Thanks.

But you are using the Internet Explorer for the update ?

And you unzipped the the firmware file to a .bin ?

And are you using a wired connection to update?

Thanks for the replies.  Yes I am using a wired connection while updating and IE.  Darn.  I just checked the downloads and the 1.21s are zipped and the 1.20 is not.  That must have been it...  Did not even check.

Thanks.

Hi, gbriggle. The upgrade is not recommended if you have to. Hopefully you won't run into the same issue as mine.
