Wi-Fi Module Firmware Update

Updating the Wi-Fi module on your RR and R2 Lights

Current Wi-Fi Version:  QS_PC_WIFI_1.0B.wifi and is for use with RR/R2 fixture firmware v0.6A and beyond.
Please update your light Firmware first if earlier than v0.6A

This update process will require the use of a computer/phone/tablet with the ability to connect to Wi-Fi.

1. Download the Wi-Fi Module firmware that's at the top of this page (can also be found on the RR-R2 Support Page) and save it to your computer or mobile device. MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS THE CORRECT FIRMWARE.
   File format should be QS_PC_WIFI_X.X.wifi
   
   LOADING THE WRONG FIRMWARE WILL END LIFE AS WE KNOW IT, CAUSE YOUR FAVORITE TV SHOW TO BE CANCELED AND TURN THE FIXTURE INTO A HEAP OF MOLTEN PLASTIC. (Not all of those things will happen but it will break it and you'll be sad which is probably just as bad.)

2. Set the fixture into Update Mode. There are 3 ways:

   1. With the light powered off, press and hold the ENTER button on the light and then press/hold the POWER button for 3 seconds.
   2. User can also get there through the menu, Config->Update FW.
   3. With the light powered off, press and hold the ENTER button and plug in the light.
3. From a phone or laptop, connect to the Wi-Fi network the Quasar Fixture is broadcasting
   (This will be QS: XXXXXXXX.)
4. Enter the Password for the fixture's AP: 1234567890
5. Launch a web browser (Quasar recommends Firefox)
   If the Wi-Fi has already been updated to version QS_PC_WIFI_1.0B.wifi or later, please proceed to step 11. To check the firmware installed on the fixture, enter the config menu by pressing the left arrow from the main display. press the left arrow four times until the firmware of the fixture is displayed. Pressing enter on this screen will cycle through the various firmwares installed on the fixture.
