what was the command you used to update the firmware? and what entries did you give it?

Or, if you did this from the web gui...

what was the path you specified for the firmware?


1. Did you extract the firmware to a directory on your ftp server?

2. If you just extact the files, the default path should be v5.2.1b/release.plist

Thanks

i upgrade by web browser in the sequential below:

v5.2.1b
v5.3.0d
v6.0.0b
v6.1.0d

and the path correct is:

Example:
v6.0.0b/release.plist
