Progressive Bulk Firmware Updates for Smoother Network Performance

Hey everyone, I’ve been thinking about how firmware updates are handled in bulk, especially when dealing with multiple devices on a network. I noticed that when updating several devices at once, it can really congest the 2.4GHz WiFi band, especially on slower ISP connections. This often leads to connectivity issues during the update process, causing some devices to fail or reboot without completing the update. I remember how Google Play Store handles app updates—they queue them up and install one at a time, which seems much more efficient. I wonder if Wyze could adopt a similar approach for firmware updates. Imagine a UI where you can see the status of each device in the queue, with only one device updating at a time. This would not only reduce network congestion but also minimize the chances of devices losing connectivity mid-update. I’d love to hear if anyone else has experienced similar issues or if there are workarounds they’ve found effective. Maybe there’s a setting I’m missing or a different approach to scheduling updates that could help. Sharing experiences and tips would be super helpful for the community! On a related note, I’ve found that scheduling updates during off-peak hours can make a big difference. It might not solve the root issue, but it’s a small step toward smoother firmware management. What strategies have you guys implemented to handle bulk updates more effectively? Looking forward to your thoughts and any solutions you might have discovered!
