Upgrade your router firmware
Tools > Firmware Upgrade
TRENDnet may periodically release firmware upgrades that may add features or fix
problems associated with your TRENDnet devices. To check if there is a firmware
upgrade available for your device, please check your TRENDnet model and version using
the link. http://www.trendnet.com/support
In addition, it is also important to verify if the latest firmware version is newer than the
one your router is currently running. To identify the firmware that is currently loaded on
your router, log in to the router, and you can check the Firmware version in the Mesh
Device List or under Tools > Firmware. If there is a newer version available, also review
the release notes to check if there were any new features you may want or if any
problems were fixed that you may have been experiencing.
