l have a 50-200mm(version 3) and want to update it to firmware 1.11 but find no way to do it. i-launcher seems to stop working and I can't open the official website. Does anyone knows how to update now?

I've never used i-launcher. I get all my firmware updates from this excellent resource;

https://matteverglade.com/lenses/nx-firmware/

The firmware often comes as a compressed file, un-pack it first before copying the 'bin' file on the 'root' of your memory card. Beware, they look very similar, make sure you have one and only one 'bin' file on you memory card at any one time. Also make sure it's the correct one. You don't want to 'brick, the camera or the lens. I delete my 'bin' file as soon as I've updated. When you go via the menu to update the firmware, the camera will recognise if you have a newer version of the firmware and will ask if you want to update. Make sure you have a fully charged battery before proceeding.

It really is very simple, don't be put off by my long-winded explanation.

Hope this helps.

Wahid, how do you download the files? If I click on the link all I get is this;

Sorry for late response, you may well have a solution via kypfer. However, for the record, you would normally click on the red firmware version and a download would start. I've just checked it and it no longer works. Either that resource is no more or my latest version of Firefox is playing up. I've always kept all the firmware updates from that page anyway, they are very small and don't take up much space so I could forward one if I have it.
