Problems updating to latest firmware

I got an error message when I tried to update to 7.7.9 for my base station. The message, which I admit I don't remember entirely, said that update failed. The device kept blinking amber – clearly unusable – so I unplugged it and restarted. Since then it has worked but I now lose connection on my Mac when I wake up from sleep. This is something that never occurred before. Wondering if anyone else has had any problems.

I have not been prompted to update my firmware since so it appears that the update worked. But weird getting the error message and now having the issues.
