It will prompt but don’t push go until it shows 1.2 as the version as the current path had some defects you should avoid. ---

Hey Butch, > [@bkwoood](#): > > ok thank you. i’m assuming you need to be on the internet for updates yes, but if you access the Onefinity Controller remotely over network, your browser usually has access to the internet. In this case, > [@349iq2345](#): > > uncheck this setting on the ADMIN page: > > ![OnefinityCNC_Disable_checking_for_new_firmware](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/3X/3/a/3a371da62b23b5cc7c7b99d571de63ccc1a3fab1.png) > > and then reload the CONTROL page. which I strongly suggest, otherwise (as of this writing) the Onefinity Controller will tell you to update to version 1.1.1, which is a **faulty version** that Onefinity tells you in the forum **not to install** , but at same time they are unable to prevent it being suggested by the controller and downloaded and installed by the user. **You can at any time download the latest/stable recommended firmware by visiting the [“Latest Firmware” forum category](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/c/firmware/firmware/98) and install it with the “Upgrade via File” button shown above.** Visiting and following the [“Firmware” forum category](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/c/firmware/108) is the best way to keep up to date with new firmwares as long as Onefinity is unable to prevent faulty firmware being automatically suggested by the controller and installed by the user due to that prompt. ---

so updating firmware should be the first ting to do before anything else ---

Hey Butch, yes but at the moment (as of this writing), just upgrade to [version 1.0.9](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/firmware-update-1-0-9-12-17-21-latest-firmware/8483), don’t install something higher at the moment. 1.1.1 is faulty and 1.1.2 is in beta testing yet.
