Firmware Upgrade

The software of the DM602 modem is stored in FLASH memory, and can be upgraded as new software is released by NETGEAR. Upgrade files can be downloaded from Netgear's website. If the upgrade file is compressed (.ZIP file), you must first extract the binary (.BIN) file before sending it to the modem. The upgrade file can be sent to the modem using your browser.

Note: The Web browser used to upload new firmware into the DM602 modem must support HTTP uploads. NETGEAR recommends using Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or above.
