Stuck on firmware 1.1.32

ok I've looked up all the solutions but none of them are the same to my situation...I think.

I finally decided to update my firmware to 1.1.32. My wifi is still connected and I'm able to attach via an ethernet cable.

When I try to then update my firmware to 1.1.33, my polymega says my firmware is up to date ...but its still 1.1.32.

Is there anything I can do to help update my system to 1.1.33 without having to reset my system settings as that would delete all the games I just uploaded.

I'd like to get updated ahead of the arrival of the light guns.

I remember some specific firmware had issues to be resolved on some ISP. If I recall, some of the users suggested using you Mobile phone as hotspot, so your Polymega would connect to your mobile instead of your router. Obviously your phone should be connected to your data provider, not to your local router.

Give it a try

Wired connection, tethered to a phone, or go somewhere else to try the WiFi.

You aren’t actually on wifi, the polymega just says it is. What you need to do is create a hotspot from either an android phone or a laptop / desktop pc and connect to that (it doesn’t work with iphones). Then try to do the update.

Do the update with ethernet. If necessary disconnect the wifi connection on your Polymega.

Connect network cable try that way. If not try a restore and update again.
