Help	To upgrade the Router’s firmware:
	1. Select the Help tab (shown on the
	previous page).

Note: By upgrading the Router’s firmware, you may lose the Router’s configuration settings.

2. Click on Upgrade Firmware to display a new window (shown below):

Under the Help tab, you’ll find links to all of the Utility’s internal support doc- umentation, including the application that upgrades the Router’s firmware.

New firmware versions are posted at www.linksys.com and can be downloaded for free. If your Router can access the Internet already, there’s no need to download a newer firmware version, unless that version has a new feature that you want to use. Loading new firmware onto your Router does not enhance the speed or the quality of your connection speed.

See the next section for directions on enabling remote firmware upgrades (IP Filtering).
