I am having issues with attaching to the Rovingnetwork FTP server to upgrade the Wifly firmware. Have they changed the address again?

In the August 20th posting http://www.rovingnetworks.com/FAQs/I_ge ... Fly_module the address no longer works.

Does anyone have a current IP address?

Thanks

Yes, that's the last one I used.
They keep on changing it though. I've used about 3 or 4 servers already.
They got bought out by Microchip and until things settle, we will see this stuff happening.
I went ahead and used a FTP client and it did connect to that server.

I tried connecting to that address with an FTP client and got "530 User anonymous cannot log in" returned

In trying to upgrade my wifly I seem to have bricked it, your wizard does not resolve the problem neither does dmortons. Or I am doing something wrong. Do you have a working image of the firmware file? Or suggestion?

The reason for getting myself in this mess is that I had two wifi dropouts while I was away and thought this thread might solve the problem.

if you use tera term or putty, can you connect to it and issue commands?
Can you use "factory Reset" command?
the username for their ftp is Roving and password is Pass123. Both case sensitive.

After several attempts I managed to get the firmware updated.

The latest version is 2.36

To get it to work I had to change several settings in the wifi config. Here are the commands that I sent to the Wifi.

1. Change the FTP server address to point to rn.microchip.co (IP 198.175.253.161 )

Code: Select all

set ftp address 198.175.253.161
2. Change the FTP user name to roving (case sensitive)

Code: Select all

set ftp username roving
3. Change password to Pass123 (case sensitive)

Code: Select all

set password Pass123
4 Save changes

Code: Select all

save
5. Update firmware

Code: Select all

ftp update
6. Reboot

Code: Select all

reboot
The above worked for me on 17th September 2012, but the server address seems to change without notification as mentioned in a previous post.

I found it worthwhile to download the manual which I have attached.

Posed this question in one of the other wifi threads. Thought I would ask here too.

Anyone try the 2.3.6/2.4.2/2.4.5 firmware updates yet?

I see Sebyte has upgraded to 2.3.6 anything any better?

I'll have to see about upgrading my unit as well. While I was away on vaca this week I had to haven wife reboot the device which turned into a chore for her. Lol prior to that it was working decent since the last update.
