Unity DR16 Wrong Firmware

Post by lcslouis » Thu Feb 27, 2020 10:09 pm

I am unable to update the firmware on my DR16.

I have purchased the DR16 today 02/27/2020

I plugged it into my lan to update the firmware the windows app requires the latest firmware to connect. I tried to load the new firmware and it gives me an error of wrong firmware file. I downloaded the firmware and application from

https://peavey.com/products/index.cfm/item/666/119094/

any ideas or can i get the older software that works with the 1.1.8 firmware

I am having the same issue. LAN sees the DR16 but won't connect to it so I can update the firmware. The only way to connect is through the wireless app on my tablet. I sure would be nice for Peavey to provide some support or trouble shooting FAQ's. I have found nothing about a fix for this.

Finally got my firmware to update. Wound up getting on old wireless router from my junk closet and resetting it to factory defaults. Then use it between the DR16 and my laptop. Set both to DHCP and turn OFF the wireless on the laptop and set up according to the manual.
Connection Parameters (DR16):
- IP Addressing: Dynamic (DHCP Client)
- IP Address: 192.168.0.100
- Net Mask: 255.255.255.0
- Gateway: 192.168.0.1

I was using a laptop running Windows7 in a virtualbox to run the Peavey desktop software. Seems that it didn't like Windows10 but worked with 7. :?

Anyway once all this is setup, run the firmware update and hopefully it will take. Good luck.
