2. Click Browse in the Router Upgrade section.
3. Locate the downloaded file and click upload. This will start the software upgrade to your VPN
firewall router. This may take some time. At the conclusion of the upgrade, your router will
reboot.
4. After the VPN firewall has rebooted, select Monitoring and confirm the new firmware
version to verify that your router now has the new software installed.
Setting the Time Zone
Date, time and NTP Server designations can be input on the Time Zone screen. Network Time
Protocol (NTP) is a protocol that is used to synchronize computer clock times in a network of
computers.
To set Time, Date and NTP servers:
1. Select Administration from the main menu and Time Zone from the submenu. The Time
Zone screen will display.
2. From the Date/Time pull-down menu, select the Local Time Zone. This is required in order
for scheduling to work correctly. The VPN firewall includes a Real-Time Clock (RTC), which
it uses for scheduling.
3. If supported in your region, check the Automatically Adjust for Daylight Savings Time
radio box.
4. Select a NTP Server option by checking one of the following radio boxes:
•Use Default NTP Servers: If this is enabled, then the RTC (Real-Time Clock) is updated
regularly by contacting a Default Netgear NTP Server on the Internet.
•Use Custom NTP Servers: If you prefer to use a particular NTP server, enable this
instead and enter the name or IP address of an NTP Server in the Server 1 Name/IP
Address field.
Warni ng: Do not try to go online, turn off the router, shutdown the computer or do
anything else to the router until the router finishes the upgrade! When the
Test light turns off, wait a few more seconds before doing anything.
Note: In some cases, such as a major upgrade, it may be necessary to erase the
configuration and manually reconfigure your router after upgrading it. Refer to
the Release Notes included with the software to find out if this is required.
