Router Upgrade & Provisioning

You install new versions of the Router's software using the Firmware Upgrade page.

Go to the NETGEAR Web site to get new versions of the Router software. After downloading the

file, you'll need to unzip (or unstuff) it before upgrading the Router.

IMPORTANT! Once you click Upload do NOT interrupt the process of sending the software to the

Router and restarting the Router. If you think the process may be interrupted in some way, click

Cancel to keep the current Router software.

To upgrade Router software:

1. Go to www.NETGEAR.com and download the updated software.

2. If not done automatically, uncompress the file.

You may want to read the Release Notes before continuing.

3. Click Browse.

4. Locate and select the file you just downloaded and uncompressed.

5. Click Upload to send the software to the Router.

This loads the new software in the Router and causes the Router to restart.

Note: Do not try to go online, turn off the Router, shutdown the computer or do anything

else to the Router until the Router finishes restarting! When the Ready light stops blinking,

wait a few more seconds before doing anything.

6. Click Router Status and check the Firmware Version to verify that your Router now has the

new software installed.
