Firmware upgrade instructions

– Note: To avoid wireless disconnection issues during firmware download, NETGEAR recommends performing firmware upgrades on a computer with a wired connection.
– Make a note of any settings that have been changed from their default values, as you may need to re-enter them manually.
– Download the new firmware and extract it to a convenient location, such as your desktop.
– Log in to the router using a web browser.
– Click Advanced tab > Management > Firmware Upgrade.
– Click “Browse” and find the file you just downloaded.
– Click to upload. Do not interrupt the upgrade while the router performs this step.

Important tips:

– The upgrade process is complete when the progress bar on the screen completes. If the power LED turns amber and flashes, restart the router to complete the upgrade.
– If the upgrade progress bar on the Web GUI does not display correctly during the firmware upgrade process, you can still check the status using the power LED. During the firmware upgrade, the power LED should flash (amber). Once the firmware upgrade is complete and the system boots, it will turn solid amber.
– Do not shut down or restart the device during the firmware upgrade process, otherwise the firmware may be damaged and the device may not work.

About router firmware:

Before you consider downloading this firmware, go to your router’s System Information page and make sure the version currently installed is not a newer version or matches this version.

Since there are many different router models and different ways to upgrade your device, it is highly recommended that you read and most importantly understand the installation steps before applying the new firmware, even if you are an advanced user.

In theory, these steps shouldn’t be too much trouble for anyone, as manufacturers try to make them as easy as possible, even if they don’t always succeed. Basically, you have to upload new firmware to the router through the router’s admin page and allow it to upgrade.

If you install a new version, you can expect higher security levels, resolution of different vulnerability issues, improved overall performance and transfer speeds, enhanced compatibility with other devices, added support for newly developed technologies, and several other changes.

If you are looking for some security measures, keep in mind that it is better to perform uploads using an Ethernet cable rather than a wireless connection, as wireless connections can be easily interrupted. Also, if you want to avoid any glitches, make sure not to power off the router or use its buttons during the installation process.

If the firmware meets your current needs, obtain the required version and apply it to your router unit; if not, visit our website as often as possible to avoid missing updates that improve your device.
