Amped WiFi Extender Firmware Update Failed [Solved]

Here are the step-by-step instructions that you need to follow to get rid of the issue and then update the firmware on your device:

  1. Begin the troubleshooting process by checking the power cable and power socket that you have used to supply power to the Amped WiFi extender. If the power supply to the extender is poor then the firmware update process may halt or get interrupted. So checking the power supply should be the first thing that you must do. Make the necessary changes if you need to.
  2. After the power supply, get to checking the internet connection to the extender. The Ethernet cable that you have used to connect the extender and router should be in good condition and should make solid connections between the devices.
  3. If you have connected the WiFi extender to the router using a wireless source, then reduce the distance between the devices. But do not place them very close also. The signals of the device will clash otherwise.
  4. Now, check the firmware file that you have downloaded and saved on your PC. If you have downloaded an incorrect file then you will fail in installing the firmware on the extender. The firmware that you download should be meant for the extender model that you own. Make sure you have the correct file before you try updating it on the device.
  5. Now that you have fixed the power supply and the internet connection and also have the correct firmware file with you, you can update your Amped WiFi extender right away. But before that consider rebooting your Amped extender once. This will help fix any temporary glitches with the extender that may be preventing you from updating the firmware on it. Turn off the extender and unplug it from the power socket. After a couple of minutes supply power to the extender again.
  6. Now, try to install the latest firmware file on your Amped extender. You can refer to the user manual that you received along with the device during purchase to know the exact steps of the firmware update process. Make very certain that you are not interrupting the process by any way.
