Note: When uploading software to the modem router, it is important not to interrupt
the Web browser by closing the window, clicking a link, or loading a new page.
If the browser is interrupted, it may corrupt the software. When the upload is
complete, your modem router will automatically restart. The upgrade process
will typically take about one minute. In some cases, you may need to clear the
configuration and reconfigure the modem router after upgrading.
