SG-2100 from 21.05.2 to 22.01.2

rcalhoun

Hello All!
I have seven SG-2100 routers purchased from netgate currently running pfSense Plus 21.05.2-RELEASE. I have pfblockerng and snort installed but currently disabled till this is resolved. My issue started out as not being able to search for packages in the package manager. Then I realized that it tells me that it’s “Unable to check for updates” on the dashboard. I’ve checked System -> Update and the Branch field is empty on the “System Update” tab as is the Branch field on the “Update Settings” tab.

Here’s what I’ve tried:

[21.05.2-RELEASE][admin@13.local]/: pkg-static -d update

I can ping from the 2100 cli, browse from my pc and ssh into the 2100 from outside.
I have twenty SG-2100 routers. 7 of them have this issue. They are all in different locations.

I'd really like to find a solution that doesn't involve visiting the unit physically.

TIA

@rcalhoun Did you get this solved?

@nick-loenders The only solution I found was to physically visit the unit and perform the upgrade with a file provided by netgate support.
