Upgrade Router Firmware

When you set up your router and are connected to the Internet, the router automatically checks to see if newer firmware is available. If it is, a message displays on the top of the screen. See Upgrade the Router Firmware on page 53 for more information about upgrading firmware.

Click the message when it displays, and click Yes to upgrade the router with the latest firmware. After the upgrade, the router restarts.

CAUTION:

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 and the Power LED has stopped blinking for several seconds.
