Since I don't have my router close to my setup I am attempting to update it using a USB stick. In the root of the stick, I downloaded the update file from Marklin's website cs3update_v2.41.0_ms2-4.1 (1).btrfs I tried both data ports on the CS3+ but the red dot never appears. Am I doing something wrong, or do I need to enable something for the CS3+ to recognize the USB memory stick? Can I move my CS3+ to my router and turn it on without having track connected to it? Thanks

Since you need to disconnect all other plugs except the Power why not move your CS3 and its power supply near your Internet box? Cheers Jean

It was the USB drive that was too wide and hit the plastic side of the CS3+ and therefor wasn't seated all the way in the connector. I copied my file to a different USB stick and voila the red dot appeared, and the update happened.
