Upgrade the Router Firmware
The router firmware (routing software) is stored in flash memory. You can update the firmware
from the Administration menu on the ADVANCED tab. You might see a message at the top of
the genie screens when new firmware is available for your product.
You can use the Check button on the Router Update screen to check if new firmware is
available, and to update your product.
To check for new firmware and update your router:
1. Select ADVANCED > Administration > Router Update.
Click
Check
2. Click Check.
The router finds new firmware if it is available.
3. Click Yes.
The router locates an downloads the firmware and begins the update.
WARNING:
To avoid the risk of corrupting the firmware, do not interrupt the
upgrade. For example, do not close the browser, click a link, or
load a new page. Do not turn off the router.
When the upload is complete, your router restarts. The upgrade process typically takes
about one minute. Read the new firmware release notes to find out if you need to
reconfigure the router after upgrading.
