14 DAY TRIAL // NETGEAR has rolled out a new firmware package developed for its D6400 AC1600 wireless router, namely version 1.0.0.58, which includes small security fixes and enhancements that might improve the unit’s overall performance.
If you want to benefit from these changes, first go to the router’s administration page and check to see if its currently installed firmware isn’t either newer or similar to this release.
If not, save and unzip the downloadable archive, establish a wired connection between your D6400 unit and the computer you have saved the firmware on, and navigate to the router’s administration page (username and password should be requested).
While there, it would be a good idea to save all settings that you have changed from the default values, as you might need to re-enter them manually after the upgrade.
Afterward, go to Maintenance > Router Upgrade > Browse, select the newly unzipped .img file, hit “Upload,” and allow the device to perform the installation.
During this process, avoid removing Ethernet/power cables from the devices, closing the web browser, powering down the router/computer, or interrupting the installation in any way, as it will cause device malfunctions.
That said, download NETGEAR D6400 Router Firmware 1.0.0.58, carefully apply it on your device, and check back with us as often as possible to be aware when a newer version is available for your device.
