How will I be notified of new router firmware upgrades?

All Multi-Tech firmware upgrades are posted on the Multi-Tech Web site at www.multitech.com, where they can be downloaded for free.

Your RouterFinder does NOT need the latest firmware upgrade if your Internet connection is already successful, as firmware upgrades will not increase your connection speed or enhance your Router’s performance.
