Updating new device from v1.4.0 to v1.8.0. In CLI, the system never gets past "Preparing to Upgrade". Here are the steps I followed:
1) No internet access, so I downloaded ER-e100.v1.8.0.4853089.tar (note this is not "GPL.ER-e100.v1.8.0.4853089.tbz2")
2) Deleted old system image to make room
3) Transfered v1.8.0 to ER using winscp
4) Using CLI, SSH into ER. Added system image
When it gets to Preparing to Upgrade, it just sits there for hours.
After rebooting, show system image display only v1.4.0.
Also tried to update using the Web interface. Uploads local file but then results in a spinning wheel of death.
Tried using existing firmware (v1.4.0) to connect to the internet. Applied configuration (WAN + 2 separate LANs) from small net builder (ubnt_erl_2lan_w_dhcp.tar.gz) How To Configure Your Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite - SmallNetBuilder). Using Motorola SurfBoard SB6121, which works fine when router is bypassed.
Client is properly assigned an IP and can ping the router. Cannot access the internet. Failed ping 8.8.8.8.
Think this could be a bad USB stick?
Thank you for your help.
