USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE

Enabling/Disabling Auto Firmware Update

This innovation provides the Router with the built-in capability to automatically check for a new version of firmware and alert you that the new firmware is available. When you log into the Router’s advanced interface, the Router will perform a check to see if new firmware is available. If so, you will be notified. You can choose to download the new version or ignore it. The Router ships with this feature enabled. If you want to disable it, select “Disable” and click “Apply Changes”.

MANUALLY CONFIGURING NETWORK SETTINGS
