Upgrading the Router Firmware

The router firmware is stored in flash memory, and can be upgraded as new firmware is released by NETGEAR. Upgrade files can be downloaded from the NETGEAR website. If the upgrade file is compressed (a .zip file), you must first extract the binary (.bin or .img) file before uploading it to the router.

NETGEAR recommends that you back up your configuration before doing a firmware upgrade. After the upgrade is complete, you might need to restore your configuration settings.

1.Download and unzip the new firmware file from NETGEAR.
