Issue with Firmware upgrade to xpro v5 via GUI #218

Having spent significant time on getting connected to wireless, now achieved. I went to follow the instructions to upgrade the firmware and the link from the GUI.

The update tab does not take you to the latest firmware to update but a generic page. How do I update to latest firmware as instructions so to use the GUI.

There are so many versions of instructions on Github it is hard to know which are valid. I was able to work out how to load, but the instructions and process are not initiative, I only managed this as I have some IT skills, god knows how a normal joe blog would handle this, I suggest they give up on Xpro. On a positive note the video by "I Do It Myself" on Youtube for install and config is a excellent, clear and concise guide to setting up. I strongly encourage you to contract them to expand the "how to guide" to include details on how to update the Firmware and only other software related loads.

It is also very unclear if you are now recommending all XPRO V5 users to load, install and configure Fluid for use on the Xpro V5 going forward, if so I also strongly encourage you to get "I Do It Myself" to create a video step by step on how to do this as the instructions at present are inadequate for use.

The device is excellent, but the user guides and instructions need to be much more user friendly for a wider audience and located in one document and one video.

Thanks

Steve
