Update the router and satellite firmware

You can use the router web interface to check if new firmware is available and update
your router and satellite, or you can manually update the firmware for your router and
satellite.

Check for firmware updates

To check for new firmware and update your router and satellite:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your
mesh network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.com.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Administration > Router Update > Online Update.
The Router Update page displays.
5. Click the Check button.
The router checks to see if new firmware is available for the router and satellite.
6. If new firmware is available, click the Yes button.
The router locates and downloads the firmware for the router and satellite and begins
the update.
Note: To avoid the risk of corrupting the firmware, do not interrupt the upgrade.
For example, do not close the browser, click a link, or load a new page. Do not turn
off the router or satellite.
When the upload is complete, your router and satellite restart. 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.
