Update the Router Firmware
You can log in to the router and check if new firmware is available, or you can manually load a
specific firmware version to your router.
Check for New Firmware and Update the Router
The router firmware (routing software) is stored in flash memory. You might see a message at
the top of the router pages when new firmware is available. You can respond to that message to
update the firmware or you can check to see if new firmware is available and update your
product.
Note: We recommend that you connect a computer to the router using an Ethernet connection
to update the firmware.
To check for new firmware and update your router:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the router
network.
