Data/Callsign Database Upgrade

Please place close the openSPOT2 to your browser device while the openSPOT2 is in AP mode (indicated by white LED). Also you can try using another browser, or another browser device to set it up.

Yes, I have tried those things, too, but it still won't stay connected in the AP mode.

A few days ago it did stay connected in the AP mode, I got it configured and then connected to wifi and updated the firmware. Now, it will go into the AP mode, but won't stay connected long enough to even configure it.

I have the Open Spot2 very close to the computer. I have tried several different computers, a tablet and even my smartphone.

I watch the wifi display. It will show connected, then lose the connection and say connecting. Some component must be defective in my device.

Does your browser device reconnect after disconnecting? Is the openSPOT2's LED pulsating white all the time, or does it become steady white when your browser device connects?

The browser devices switches between connected and reconnecting. The openSPOT2's LED pulsates white all the time.

Something is not right with the connection then, as the openSPOT2's LED should be steady white when a device is connected to the "openSPOT2 AP" Wi-Fi network.

I've got the same problem with upgrade. I have had an upgrade go through for the call sign database one time. Since then I get to round the 90% point and the upgrade fails.

Restarted download of firmware update about 10 mins after the above failed DL and did it again:

Third try didn't get quite as far:

I get an orange star error color. This has occurred several times so it is not just a blimp in my ISP connection at time of download. Think maybe they are packet filtering my supposed "unlimited" data account?

Never mind on previous post about dl'ing. Realized that my problems sounded like server issues, so I decided to try another, less-used USA connection server and success! Should have trusted my original instincts that the log looked like CRC errors from the old days.

There was DDOS hacker attacked the Brandmeister network around the world and administrators turned off servers for a shorter period of time all over the world.
