This update will help users who have noticed that their controller frequently drops its connection to Flame Boss cloud servers. Users who have been experiencing these issues may have trouble completing the update because of a dropped connection to the servers delivering the update. The update must be downloaded completely during one connection. If the download is interrupted, it will start from the beginning when the controller is reconnected to the server. To download the latest firmware to your controller (the green box with the blower assembly), please follow these next steps.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Step 1:<\/strong>\u00a0Open the EGG Genius App on your mobile device and make sure you are logged into your account.<\/div>\n<div><strong>Step 2:<\/strong>\u00a0For this setup, make sure your controller (the green box with blower assembly) is as close to your WiFi router as possible (you can even do this part indoors).
