2. Unzip the Firmware file, extract the files to the computer's hard drive and write down the path to the files.

3. From the computer, open Web Browser (i.e. Internet Explorer) and go to the Router's configuration page (default address is http://192.168.0.1). Enter the user name and password to login the configuration page (default no user name and no password) and click "Cancel" at the "Wizard" Window.

4. Click on "status" on the left, look for "System" and check the "Firmware version". If the firmware version is 1.1 Release 15 or higher, do not perform the firmware upgrade.

5. From the configuration page, click on "Other" on the left, click on "Upgrade Firmware" type in the Router's login password (if there is one), click on "Browse" locate and select the firmware file (file path from Step 2 above), click on "Open" click on "Upload" and then click on "Ok" at the warning message.

6. You should see a progress bar on the screen.

<<Warning! DO NOT interrupt the upgrade. DO NOT operate the browser. DO NOT disconnect the network cable. DO NOT power off the Router.>>

7. After the upgrade progress reaches 100%, check the Router front panel LED lights and make sure "Power" is solid green and one of the LAN's "Link/Act" is solid green and blinks once in a while. Click "Ok" on the screen.

About Router Firmware:

Before you consider downloading this firmware, go to the system information page of the router and make sure that the currently installed version isn’t either newer or matching this release.

Due to the large variety of router models and different methods for upgrading the device, it is highly recommended that you read and, above all, understand the installation steps before you apply the new firmware, even if you are a power user.

In theory, these steps shouldn’t be much of a hassle for anyone, because manufacturers try to make them as easy as possible, even if they don’t always succeed. Basically, you must upload the new firmware to the router through its administration page and allow it to upgrade.

If you install a new version, you can expect increased security levels, different vulnerability issues to be resolved, improved overall performance and transfer speeds, enhanced compatibility with other devices, added support for newly developed technologies, as well as several other changes.

If you’re looking for certain safety measures, remember that it would be best if you perform the upload using an Ethernet cable rather than a wireless connection, which can be interrupted easily. Also, make sure you don’t power off the router or use its buttons during the installation, if you wish avoid any malfunctions.

If this firmware meets your current needs, get the desired version and apply it to your router unit; if not, check with our website as often as possible so that you don’t miss the update that will improve your device.
