I have an unusual problem that I'm hoping someone in the group can help me solve. I do not have a Windows computer. I have a Mac desktop (macOS 10.13.6) and a Linux (Ubuntu 18.04.3) laptop. Since the GS-911 main program and downloader utility are both Windows-only, I'm running Windows 10 on both computers in Virtual Box virtual machines. When new software is released I update as instructed using one or the other of the virtual machines.Everything works as advertised for updating the drivers and the main program, but I have a problem when I try to update the firmware on my GS-911wifi. When I use the GS911wifi Utility on either Windows 10 virtual machine I get an error message at the end of the process and the update doesn't take. However, if I update using the Mac version of the utility the firmware update is successful. My question to the group is, therefore, why doesn't the firmware update work on either Windows virtual machine?

The GS-911 has an app for the MAC.

Updates are usually for new bikes and come out maybe twice a year. Unless you travel that much seems like it a mute point. I use my smartphone app on the road.

While I don’t use VirtualBox, I am very familiar with VMware and Fusion. It may be the way that the wlan is being shared within VirtualBox - I suggest you try using it in pass-thru mode, where the VM will see the device as a physical connection and not a shared virtual wifi card. I have had odd issues with virtual drivers and this seems to correct the issue in most cases.—
