3.Once you have selected the file, click Upload to send the software to the router. The upload process takes several minutes. When the software upload process is complete, the router restarts.

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! When the Power light stops blinking, wait a few seconds more before using the router.

4.After the router has restarted, select Router Status under Maintenance on the main menu. Check the firmware version to verify that your router now has the new software installed.
