Updating FW - Its slow

[robertsorensen]

My amsreader FW is currently at 2.5.1
A couple of days ago I noticed that 2.5.5 was available and hit the "update" button. From Home Assistant I noticed that progress was extremely slow and appeared to be at 11% after a while. The next day it had reached 15.5% but appeared to be stuck at that level.
I then noticed that 2.5.6 was available and so I did try to install that version. Its currently sitting at 4.4% after roughly 12 hours.
I have restarted the reader but it did not make any difference in the update speed.

Is this not "update" speed or is there anything I can do?

Is this not "update" speed

should read: Is this normal "update" speed.

This is absolutely not normal update speed.
I have seen similar behavior some time ago - but the next day it was back to normal.

I don't have any other better advise than "try again".
If nothing else helps: Save a backup of your config, and do an USB upgrade: https://wiki.amsleser.no/en/Update-firmware-usb#usb-upgrade

I am experiencing the exact problem
I did upgrade earlier today from an 2.4 release to 2.5.1 since it was the next available upgrade according to the GUI
This upgrade went smooth and with a decent speed

Now I'm trying to upgrade from rel 2.5.1 to the latest 2.5.6 and it is really slow
After several hours the progress is still only 18%

It seems like the OTA upgrade in rel 2.5.1 have some problems

We believe those are network issues, and not related to the device. I've seen it happen myself, se my comment above.
Try again later, or just let it go on with what it does, even if it is slow. It should finish by itself.

Just gave up on the "Automatic" upgrade, and downloaded the correct bin-files from Github, and uploaded the file (Via the GUI & OTA) to the reader, and it went very fast
I do have a 1Gbit network connection, and the download from Github went jus as fast as expected, so it is not a network issus in any way or form
And the OTA upload of the new fw from the PC to the reader went very fast too
