Knighty2k,

Now that you have an IP for the OBi, you can download the new firmware and update it yourself. By using the OBi web page.

But he no longer has a PC and browser connected to the Internet.  The OBi is the only thing connected to his cable modem and the Internet.

Got IP address for OBi 174.97.220.120.

That's very good.  That says your OBi is operational and the problem is most likely a compatibility issue with your router.

***6 gives me invalid option error.

Oops!   A chicken and egg problem here.   :)

The ***6 update feature wasn't added until recently, so you can't use it until you get updated.

Didn't find steps to update firmware in Admin Guide.

It's covered on page 31, but you still need to get access to the OBi first.

Do you have another router you could substitute temporarily, or another LAN you could temporariliy connect the OBi to long enough to do a firmware update?


Don't have another LAN or router. Do have a 5 Port Network Mini Switch EZ500-S.
I just got OBi from Amazon couple of days ago after it being out of stock for many days and still it doesn't have most to date firmware.
What to do now?

The firmware has been updated a couple of times very recently, and it's not uncommon for manufacturing to not change as rapidly.

It's worth a shot to put the 5 Port Network Mini Switch EZ500-S in series with the OBi and see if that makes it happy.
