I just got a Zyxel 1200-8 POE v.2 switch and I am trying to update the firmware to version 2.00.  When I enter the firmware upgrade page and click path to select the firmware, it populates the text box with C:\fakepath\firmware_name and fails when I click update.  If I type the path and name of the firmware and click update it does nothing. I have tried multiple browsers and paths and it never works.  How do I update to the latest firmware?

  • Hi, thank you for your reply.  I am trying to update a GS1200-8HPv2.  I did unzip the file and attempt to update using the GS1200-8_V2.00(ABME.0)C0.bin file.

    I downloaded the files from the other link that you sent but the problem is that when I browse to select the file it always shows up as <drive_letter>\fakepath\<firmware_name>.  However, this time when I placed it at the root of my drive and typed in the path and updated, it worked.  That did not happen with the other firmware.  I've included a screenshot of the issue I was having below.  It shows what was populated in the Firmware path after I selected the file at the root of my C: drive.  I tried edge, chrome and firefox all had the same issue.

    Thanks for the help!
