I've been reading up on the steps on how to restore my TS-XE8.0TL/R5 using TFTP. I setup solarwinds TFTP server on 192.168.11.1 and the TS-XE8.0TL/R5 is able to connect and GET file (boot recovery TS-XL 1.00)
This resulted in the following error / info
Client 192.168.11.150:1440 C:\Users\kim\Downloads\Buffalo TS-XEL\TFTP Boot Recovery\uImage-88f6281.buffalo, No Such File/No Access

But I could not access the drive in any way (not even a ping)
Then I took the firmware from the support page for the TS-XE8.0TL/R5 (tsx166.zip) and renamed the .IMG files to .BUFFALO to see if that would make a difference.
Unfortunately that did not work. This an issue of wrong firmware? or something else going on here?
