Hi,
Ok, so i want to update to the last firmware 18.2. im on 17.0
Trying to update the fvdw-sl-17.0-patch11-30jun2019.zip without success. i donate 6€, i know thats not the problem because i can access the firmware private area. The thing is, i got allways the fail unpacking tar file failed. Is there a way to put the unpacked files directly on respective directorys? via Terminal for example?

Thank you.

Did you follow this procedure ?

How to install the patch :
- Save the attached zip archive in the file share 'fvdw'
- Go to the upload patch menu of the web interface
- Select the file in the first field (click on the small button "...")
- Put in the second field (control code) the following code : "shell" (without quotes)

In the upload patch window of the web interface it should be specified which patch are installed

This normal for 17-0

Missing the option to put the forum plugout.net credentials to install the firmware.

This normal on 17-0, you need to upgrade to 18-2

I will test the patch file on a fresh 17-0 version
