)Note:

1)New firmware versions are posted at www.tp-link.com and can be downloaded for free. There is no need to upgrade the firmware unless the new firmware has a new feature you want to use. However, when experiencing problems caused by the extender rather than the configuration, you can try to upgrade the firmware.

2)When you upgrade the extender’s firmware, you may lose its current configurations, so before upgrading the firmware please write down some of your customized settings to avoid losing important settings.

3)Do not turn off the extender or press the Reset button while the firmware is being upgraded. Loss of power during the upgrade could damage the extender.

4)The firmware version must correspond to the hardware.

5)The upgrade process takes a few moments and the extender restarts automatically when the upgrade is complete.
