Kevin,
Remember PilotAware is not connected to the internet. Before clicking on ‘Check for Updates’ you need to provide the update or a direct internet link to it There are several ways to do this, but as you are running 20161124, the quickest / easiest is to download the update from the internet using a separate internet connected PC or laptop and transfer it to PAW via a USB memory stick.
You first need to obtain the latest software update from
www.pilotaware.lode.co.uk via the PC or Laptop. This will download a file called ‘pilotaware.pgp’. Note if your computer is set to hide file extensions for known file types, you won’t see the .pgp bit (the file extension), though it will be there. DO NOT alter the file name in any way.
You now need to copy this file onto a USB memory stick, keeping it at the top (root) level - which just means don’t put it inside a folder. Now power up your PilotAware, connect to 192.168.1.1, THEN insert the memory stick into the spare USB port on your PilotAware while the unit is running.
Now go to the Updates’ tab, click on ‘Check for Updates’, a short program will run and the latest update details will appear from the memory stick (should be 20170721) with a live ‘Install’ button. Click this and your unit will install the update from the memory stick. This takes a few minutes and includes an auto restart. Wait until the unit has restarted and you can see and log back onto the PAW WiFi, then log back into your Home Screen ( you may need to re-enter 192,168.1.1 as the process will have added / install.cgi to the old URL). Make sure it now shows the new update Version (20170821). You can now remove the USB stick without powering the unit down.
Let me know how you get on.
Regards
Peter
