Goal Zero will not update firmware
Hey Goal Zero
I have a Goal zero that will not update firmware. It randomly disconnects when trying to update the firmware. It also will shut down every 15 to 18 hours while connected to power. I have not been able to get the Goal Zero to reset. Any thoughts on how we can update the firmware and fix the Goal Zero from shutting down.

if you keep getting the same connection timed out please try again error while trying to connect to the cloud ☁️ to do the update do not worry I’m here to save you a migraine.
what you want to do if your WiFi set up has those WiFi extender boxes for example I have an ORBI system connected to my WiFi, normally these set ups have 1 access point or at least mine did a while ago with was a 5ghz connection which the yeti 300 doesn’t seem to be compatible with so I made a 2.4ghz access point and make sure to rename it something like for my case I did “ORBI_Network_Guest’’While on the app in order to update the firmware you have to be connected to the cloud ☁️ network you can’t update it while on the direct connection so click connect to cloud, make sure to click and hold pair button to reset the WiFi on your power station you should see the WiFi logo blinking. Make sure your phone is super close to your power station it should first while you scan for the device your yeti should appear then click continue button next is the part that gets everyone the scan for networks DO NOT CLICK ON THE NETWORK YOU HAD IT ON❌❌❌ .
Click on input network manually ✅ for name make sure you type it in exactly on how it appears on your WiFi networks on your phone so for mine I had to type ORBI_Network_Guest and the password I made for it, then click save or done ✅ the first try it won’t connect you will get the same error but this time click Try Again Button when you get to the same section click scan for network and you should see all your WiFi networks appear make sure to choose the new 2.4Ghz network then click continue button after this it will finally connect to the cloud and you can finally update your yeti 🥲 my roomba vacuum had the same problem and same fix lol.
✅OH AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO MAKE SURE YOUR YETI POWER STATION IS BASICALLY NEXT TO YOUR MAIN WIFI ROUTER AND THE MAIN WIFI EXTENDER, AT LEAST THE MAX 6 INCHES AWAY FROM IT, FROM MY EXTREME KNOWLEDGE IN POWER STATIONS FROM THE LOOKS OF THE BUILD MATERIAL OF THE CASE IS ALUMINUM OR SOME TYPE OF ALLOY THAT BLOCKS THE WIFI SINGLE A FAIR AMOUNT SO MAKE SURE YOU ARE CLOSE 🛜
✅ALSO MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS CONNECTED TO THE SAME 2.4Ghz NETWORK 🛜
