Abstract
An electronic device included in a network capable of upgrading firmware via the network is provided that enhances stability of the network. The electronic device includes a network interface, a non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon, and a hardware processor. The hardware processor is configured to execute the instructions to store a list of other electronic devices connected in the network. Moreover, the hardware processor is configured to execute the instructions to download a firmware upgrade to the electronic device and determine whether a reboot setting of the electronic device is enabled or disabled. When enabled, it is determined whether an active download session is being conducted by any of the other electronic devices and rebooting the electronic device is delayed when an active download session is detected; otherwise, the electronic device is rebooted to implement the firmware upgrade without a delay.
