Next to router? Did you meant a Wifirouter? That doesn't work. Update have to be made using Victron Connect over BT with Smartphone/Tablet or with cabel to PC.

@Robin Read this part of the manual first. If that does not solve it post an additional question

Hi Robin, no; it doesn’t use internet. The VictronConnect app on your phone already has all the lastest firmware files. Hence no need for internet when doing an update.

Please check the document to which Martijn linked in a previous answer.

Ok, firmware installed in victron connect is v 3.00. apparently I have to add latest version to android device manually.

I cannot fined list of firmware versions to download.

And now victron connect isn't even picking up charger in its menu?
