Please adv. Question

I trid use console to update the frimware to last firmware.
But the system goto the system reboot loop.
I done the below version and provide the basic test result.
R13637 ==> Wifi cannot work very well. sometime dis-connection. Then client can link, but no IP address that it's DHCP Server provided.
R13832 ==> it's not good, but better R13972~14144.
R13972~R14144 ==> cannot update by Web page.
R13972~R14144 ==> via console to update firmware, the system cannot booting sucessful.

Having the same problem with "Conrad" OEM Version of GW-MF54G2 it would be great to know where "here" is?

EDIT: The files are only visible when logged in. Sorry, I did not realize at first sight. Embarassed

/EDIT

However still the same message "Invalid file format!".

BrainSlayer, could you please again help with this?
It seems the file is still too big.

Thank you!

As best I can understand, you have to flash this thing via serial interface.
