Upgrading PA via RJ45 on the new Pi3

[AllanBirt]

Morning

When I've upgraded my PA in the past, I was able to use the USB socket to upgrade. But the last few updates this has never worked, my USB storage card has never changed, I guess there might of been a change in the software 

So my workaround to upgrade my older Pi2 was to removed all the USB sockets and plugged it directly into the router, left 20 mins then upgraded.

When I upgraded to Pi3, I done a fresh install with the latest software 20180520, so how would I go about upgrading this, as the newer Pi3 has its own built in WiFi and you cant unplug this 

I know my USB stick doesn't work on this unit neither

Hi Allan,

I presume the issue is that your home router subnet is 192.168.,1.x ?
If not, there is no need to unplug the WiFi

regarding the memory card, there have been a number of posts on the forum, if under windows you have ever selected 'yes fix these errors', then I think this screw it up, and will need reformatting to FAT32

Thx

Hi Lee

Yes my router uses the same IP range, I've even reformatted my USB stick to FAT many times to see if that would work, but to no avail. I have even used another USB stick and still no joy.

All of them works perfectly fine in my PC, as I can copy the relevant files across.

The storage of the USB stick is only 1GB which is plenty for the file transfer, I wonder if I should be using a larger one.

The only difference I can see is being formatted to FAT32, maybe ill have to give this a try

Are you using Windows inbuilt tools to format the USB stick?

Sure am, is this the problem?
