This chapter describes how to upload new firmware, manage configuration and restart your G- 1000 v2.

9.1 Firmware Upgrade

Find firmware at www.zyxel.com in a file that (usually) uses the system model name with a.bin extension, for example, "G-1000 v2.bin". The upload process uses HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and may take up to two minutes. After a successful upload, the system will reboot.

Only use firmware for your device’s specific model. Refer to the label on the bottom of your device.

Click Maintenance > Tools to open the Firmware screen. Follow the instructions in this screen to upload firmware to your G-1000 v2.
