The demand for wireless internet connectivity is increasing with each passing day. Similarly, one needs to use the right router and range extender as it can impact the internet performance. In contrast, it’s essential that you have the latest firmware update installed on the product. So, if Linksys E2500 firmware upgrade failed error is bugging you, we can solve it by following the below-mentioned fixes!
Linksys E2500 Firmware Upgrade Failed
1) Download Source
To begin with, if you don’t have the right firmware or if you didn’t download the firmware from a reliable source, it might be the culprit of the failed upgrade. With this being said, the users need to ensure that you download the firmware update from the official Linksys website.
In contrast, if you cannot find your router’s firmware update on the website, it’s advised to get in touch with customer support, and they will share the direct link with you. In addition, ensure that you share the router model with the customer support assistant as it helps them share the firmware update of the specific model.
2) Power
The firmware upgrade is highly likely to fail when you are switch off the router amidst the installation. Ask whoever you want, and they will tell you that the router must be switched on while the firmware is being installed. So, if Linksys router was switched off during firmware upgrade installation, the upgrade will be failed. If that’s the case, you need to switch on the router (and ensure a stable power source) and reinstall the firmware upgrade for a better outcome.
3) Management Mode
In case you have the firmware upgrade failed error on your router, you can opt for the management mode. This is because management mode will help recover the routers and restart the firmware upgrade loading.
When it comes down to the management mode, the router will have ample functionality for loading the firmware (the downloaded one). As a result of this management mode, you will be able to recover the failed upgrade error.
4) Browser
While you are trying to install the firmware upgrade on your router, you must be using the router, right? For this purpose, there are chances that a firmware upgrade is not compatible with the browser. It is suggested that you use a browser other than the one you are currently using. For instance, if you are using Google Chrome, shift to Firefox or Safari, and it will complete the firmware upgrade.
5) Room Alert Monitor
If the firmware upgrade failed again, you need to check the LED light status on the room alert monitor. In case the device is already working normally, make sure the device is discoverable through the link or through the device discovery. Once the room alert monitor is discovered, try installing the firmware upgrade again.
In contrast, if the upgrade still fails, you can diagnose the issue by checking the update.log file. When the issue is diagnosed by this file, there will be on-screen prompts for fixing this issue. It is advised to the users that they accurately follow the prompts for a positive outcome.
