Firmware updates with new features and bug fixes are automatically made available through the
Insight app and, if selected, pushed straight from the cloud to the device. If you are not using the
Insight app to manage your device, you can manually download and install the latest firmware by
visiting downloadcenter.netgear.com. If the features or behavior of your product does not match
what is described in this manual, you might need to update your firmware.
