Please follow these directions to update the firmware on your R2.

- Login to the device username: admin password: password.
- Navigate to the ‘Firmware’ tab using the navigation panel.

- Click the ‘Install New Firmware’ button and wait for the process to complete. It goes through a few steps and the ‘percent done’ will increment to 100% at least three times.
I connected to the R2 wifi hotspot and downloaded the upgrade file. I navigated to the 192.168.142.1/ page and logged in but I do not see a firmware tab. All I see are the R2 status and information tabs and dropdown menus. What am I missing.
Hi Chris,
When you connect to the receiver via Wi-Fi and then login you should see on the left hand side a list of different options you can navigate in the WebUI. Firmware is the second to last at the bottom. Trimble recommends using Chrome with all their products.
Thanks,
Joe
