If the modem router discovers a newer version of firmware, the message on the left displays. If no
new firmware is available, the message on the right displays.

To upgrade, click Yes to allow the modem router to download and install the new firmware.

When the upload is complete, your modem router automatically restarts. The upgrade process
typically takes about one minute. Read the new firmware release notes to determine whether you
must reconfigure the router after upgrading.
