Update Your Firmware

As new firmware is released, you should update the version running on your SOHO 6. New updates are located on the WatchGuard Web site at:

http://support.watchguard.com/sohoresources/

Download the new firmware file from the Web site and save it to a known location on your management station.

Once you have downloaded the firmware, follow these steps to update the version running on your SOH O 6:

1With your Web browser, go to the System Status page using the

Trusted IP address of the SOHO 6.

For example, if using the default IP address, go to: http://192.168.111.1

2From the navigation bar on the left side, select

Administration => Update.

The Update page appears.

NOTE

If you are managing your SOHO 6 from a computer running an operating system other than Windows (such as a Macintosh or Linux OS), you must update your firmware from this configuration page as firmware versions are released. This is because WatchGuard installation applications are only built for Windows platforms.

3Read through the End-User License Agreement, then select the I accept the above license agreement checkbox at the bottom of the page.
