I had cause to update two Vigor 3330 routers to the latest firmware 2.5.8 while investigating an issue with VPN traffic not working as expected. Inadvertently I found that in this regard not all browsers operate in the same way when performing a remote firmware update. The process is via the web interface to the unit and simply involves browsing the local drive to select the fiormware image to send – the router accepts the file – verifies it and then applies it whilst displaying a progress indication. Finally the router needs a remote reboot to activate the new firmware.
Well thats the normal outcome – however in this case the first update was done through Internet Explorer (in this case IE 8 Beta) but when the same process was carried out on the second router from Opera (which I use a lot due to the stability issues in the beta IE) a message “Incorrect firmware size” appears. Semmingly when Opera transfers the file some changes and the router won’t accept the image as valid. So in this case reverting to IE worked.
However it does raise the question of whether Opera or the router has the issue with the upload and if its Opera are there other implications for file uploading
I have added the revision information for the new and previous versions of FW for this unit below
