MAC address. Note that if the router is rebooted, the table data is lost until the router rediscovers
the devices. To force the router to look for attached devices, click the Refresh button.

Upgrading the Router Software

The software of the WGR101 wireless travel router is stored in FLASH memory, and can be
upgraded as new software is released by NETGEAR.
Note: The web browser used to upload new firmware into the WGR101 wireless travel router must
support HTTP uploads. Use Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or above. Do
not interrupt the upgrade process once it has started.
Note: Product updates are available on the NETGEAR Web site at
http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/WGR101.asp.
Note: When uploading software to the WGR101 wireless travel router, it is important not to
interrupt the Web browser by closing the window, clicking a link, or loading a new page. If the
browser is interrupted, it may corrupt the software. When the upload is complete, your router will
automatically restart. The upgrade process will typically take about one minute.
