available, and to update your product.

ends in .img) 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 1 minute.
To determine whether you need to reconfigure the router after upgrading,
