When the update is complete, your router restarts. The update process typically
takes about one minute. Read the new firmware release notes to find out if you must
reconfigure the router after updating.
Manually upload firmware to the router
If you want to upload a specific firmware version, or your router fails to update its firmware
automatically, follow these instructions.
Note: We recommend that you connect a computer to the router using an Ethernet
connection to upload the firmware.
To manually upload a firmware file to your router:
1.
Download the firmware for your router from the NETGEAR Download Center, save
it to your desktop, and unzip the file if needed.
Note: The correct firmware file uses an .img or .chk extension.
2.
If available, read the firmware release notes to find out if you must reconfigure the
router after uploading.
3.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.

you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
