Reinstall Firmware

You can restore the EZCast Pro Dongle II by reinstalling the firmware. There are several reasons for doing this:

  • The EZCast Pro Dongle II won't power on (after verifying power supply). This may indicate an interrupted update process.

  • The EZCast Pro Dongle II is unstable and a reset didn't help.

You have two options: Install either the latest firmware or a different firmware version.
