If no new firmware version is available, the message “No New Firmware Version Available” will display. (If you select “No”, you can check for new firmware later; see the online User Manual).

4.If new firmware is available, click Yes, and the router will automatically upgrade itself with the latest firmware.

Do not try to go online, turn off the router, shut down the computer, or do anything else to the router until the router finishes restarting and the Ready light has stopped blinking for several seconds!
