Update Firmware

Why update the firmware?

To benefit from the latest functions of the QuattroPod, you can quickly and conveniently install the latest firmware update via the Internet. When installing new firmware, the previous settings are retained.

You will need an Internet connection or a connection to your router. If the QuattroPod is connected to your LAN or WLAN, an IP address assigned by your network will be displayed on the screen as Infrastructure IP, as shown below:
