On the Buffalo site, there is now a version 2.x of the firmware for LS700 series.
However, my device has version 1.x that is older than 1.9.  Because of this, the firmware installer will not run.
Is there older firmware available somewhere so that I can bootstrap my way to 1.9 and get to the 2.x firmware?

The bridge FW (1.98) is available on the site as well. It is under the "DOWNLOAD CONTENTS" section of the page linked below. Before updating do ensure all data on the unit is backed up to another location.

Thank you. I must have been looking on a different website at the time.  My browser history shows that I downloaded the 2.04 firmware from buffalo.jp.
