Thanks for the reply. however, the wireless settings in the Menu are all greyed out and inactive. i am unable to get to the web interface of the projector since it is unable to get an IP address for both wireless and LAN.

all this happened when the power went off during the wireless firmware update.

please, is there any other way i can upload the firmware other than using the web interface?
