Topic: VP2 - Corrupted Firmware

[Jvietri]

No nothing else is polling.  I will try direct connection next.

Good luck and hopefully success this time.

It worked!  Hooked it up directly (No WIFI) and it updated to 3.80 on the first attempt.  I am so happy I got this working again!  Too bad I already bought another VP2 console off of eBay which is on its way.  Oh well I guess I’ll have a backup console if something goes wrong.

Thanks!

Good news. You can have two consoles in different locations and been very aware of the weather.

You might want to investigate your WiFi for dropouts. I have had good luck with Netsurveyor. There is a "time track" tab that might give you some insight about signal dropouts on your WiFi connection. I would recommend running Netsurveyor on the same PC that you were attempting the firmware from.

Is the WiFi connection to the console via a Bridge or AP Client?

It’s from an Access Point which is very close to where I was performing the upgrade.

Updating firmware over a consumer grade router using WiFi or whatever is really not to be recommended. Not a great problem with robust wireless mesh networks or the more enterprise type hardware that handles FW upgrades over the air much more vigorously.
