- Q98How can I solve the network issues of One Touch Upgrade?
The following section provides steps to solve network issues.
Step 1. Check your network connection.
The first step is to make sure that your Internet connection is working. Whether you are using a cable connection or WIFI, it is necessary that you are able to access Internet. For example, the following snapshot shows that the network connectivity is limited, which means you are connected to a local network but you are not able to access Internet.
You can open a web page that you have never opened before in order to force your Internet browser to effectively establish a connection with Internet.
Step 2. Check your Firewall/Antivirus/Security tools
If you are using your personal computer, you should know that some vendors may have preinstalled some security tools like anti-virus and/or firewall. You may also have installed them by yourself. Please make sure that these tools will not prevent the One Touch Upgrade application from accessing Internet.
Please check the logs or reports of these tools whether some alerts are registered. If such alerts exist, please read the manual of this tool in order to configure it and allow the software upgrade application to access Internet.
Step 3. Check your WIFI or home Router
If you are using WIFI at home then it is likely that you have a router. Normally, your router can be the box (or modem) provided by your Internet Service Provider. Or you may have also bought your own router and installed it in your home.
Whatever the case, you need to check that the router doesn’t contain a firewall or proxy that prevents your computer accessing the One Touch Upgrade service.
Please carefully read the user guide of your router to check the current firewall configuration. Some router may have a wizard to help user configure the basic settings. Firewall settings are usually found in advanced settings that may not be managed by the wizard. So you may have to disable the wizard and/or force the use of advanced or expert mode.
The target is to open the ports listed in the ‘Network Port’ section on your firewall.
Step 4. Check whether you are using the latest version of One Touch Upgrade
We suggest you check our website for latest version of One Touch Upgrade tool periodically. Please make sure that the previous version is uninstalled completely before installing the latest version.
