Warning: Do Not Interrupt the Firmware Upgrade Process

The router upgrade process only takes a few minutes. It is important that you do not interrupt the
upgrade process once it has started.
• Do not use your Web browser until the upgrade process has completed.
• Do not interrupt the Web browser by closing the window, clicking a link, or loading a new
page.
• Do not interrupt the upload by turning off your computer.
• Do not interrupt the upload by turning off the router. When the upload is complete, your router
will automatically restart.
Note: If the Web browser, computer, or router is interrupted, it may corrupt the software. It is good
idea to make a backup of the firmware before performing a router upgrade. See
Restoring the Configuration" on page 7-9

Firmware Upgrade Requirements
