Hi there,

trying to update from 386.2_0 shows immediately this error: "firmware upgrade unsuccessful. this may result from incorrect image or error transmission. please check the version of firmware and try again"
Despite this error message the progress bar finished to 100 percent, but the upgrade failed. The router remains on 386.2_0.
Reflashing 386.2_0 shows no problem.

Thanks for help

Unplug ("unmount") all your USB devices, (a reboot will remount the drive) and try again.

Before you do the above, please check if you have the correct firmware for the correct router. You wouldn’t be the first trying to upgrade an AC router with AX firmware.
 
And the other thing to validate is your actually pointing at the firmware and not the zip file or something. Another feat we humans do from time to time.
 
If you dont mind, please update the subject with something like [SOLVED].
Helps quickly from the menu know the status.


Glad you got it sorted out.
 
Or just change the Prefix to Solved ;)
