Download Range Extender 7 .GBL firmware update
Before you update
Please make sure you download the correct Z-Wave Frequency and begin the update with the repeater as close as 10ft / 3m distance to your hub to avoid any possible firmware update issues to avoid bricking your device.
Update with an existing Z-Wave hub
In order to use the GBL update files, your Z-Wave gateway must support OTA firmware update. If supported, follow the steps from your Z-Wave Gateway to firmware update your Repeater.
Update using a Z-Wave USB Adapter
