Help

Under the Help tab, you'll find links to all of the Gateway's internal support

documentation, including the application that upgrades the Gateway's

firmware.

New firmware versions are posted at www.linksys.com and can be downloaded

for free. If the Gateway can access the Internet already, there's no need to

download a newer firmware version, unless that version has a new feature that

you want to use. Loading new firmware onto the Gateway does not enhance

the speed or the quality of your connection speed.
