When first setting up the Winegard ConnecT 2.0 it is recommended to 
check for software updates the first time the system is connected to an 
Internet signal. It is also recommended to check for updates every couple 
months for fixes and added features.

1) 

From the Status Screen, choose 

UPDATE SOFTWARE

 from the drop down 

menu and click 

SELECT

.

2) 

Once on the update software screen, click 

CHECK FOR LATEST 

VERSION

. See Figure 8.

3) 

There will be a slight delay while the Winegard ConnecT compares the 
current software version to the latest available version. If you have the 
latest version there is no need to update the software, click 

CANCEL

. If 

the check finds that you have older software, click 

PROCEED

 to update to 

the latest version. See Figure 9. 

4) 

If you clicked 

PROCEED

while the outdoor antenna resets. After it reboots, the system will 
function normally.

NOTE:

Keep 

Settings

. See figure 8.

NOTE:

 

Updating the system software from the network will require the Winegard 

ConnecT to be connected to an internet source.

NOTE:

 During this reset, your device may switch to a local remembered WiFi 

network. This will not allow you to return to the ConnecT setup screens. If this 
happens, simply reconnect manually to the ConnecT’s SSID again from your device.
