I just downloaded Tera Term and got this Wifly shield:
When I boot-up Tera Term and connect WiflyShield through Arduino I get the below on TeraTerm:
$$$Auto-Assoc roving1 chan=0 mode=NONE FAILED

I THINK the above means my firmware is version 2.8? I have to upgrade it to 4.0 or more? I see in this manuel at:http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/50002230A.pdf
in Manual 4.5.1 it says how to upgrade the firmware but I cannot figure out how to update the firmware.
TLDR: I don't know how to update the firmware using Arduino IDE or TeraTerm.
This is the shield I am using with Arduino Uno: WiFi Shield - Elecrow
