More info?)
My password is alphanumeric. This isn't a password
problem since putting the wrong password in does give a
message indicating that.
There wasn't any error message as I recall, just that the
update failed (boot and runtime firmware). The
application was successful. I tried numerous times and
each time the firmware update would fail. However I just
tried to do the update again so I could give any info
that may help and much to my surprise it completed
successfully. I have recently added a laptop to the
network and did make adjustments, but to my knowledge, I
had not changed setting on the router other than block
ICMP commands. Anyway thanks for responding.
