Chapter 4 Utilities
Upgrade Firmware
Selecting Upgrade Firmware from any Utilities screen generates the Upgrade
Firmware screen, which is used to upgrade the Modem Router’s firmware.
Actiontec periodically updates the Modem Router’s firmware to enhance perfor-
mance, add new capabilities, and eradicated software bugs. To upgrade the Modem
Router’s firmware:
Go to the Actiontec support web site (http://www.actiontec.com/support/) 1.
and select the product from the Product Categories section. Check to see if
there is a newer firmware version available for the Modem Router by compar-
ing the available firmware upgrade revision to the one currently running on
the Modem Router. The Modem Router’s current firmware revision number
appears in the Upgrade Firmware screen.
If there is new firmware available, download it to your computer. Note its loca- 2.
tion on the computer’s hard drive.
Click 3. Browse and in the window that appears, locate the downloaded firm-
ware file, and select it.
Click 4. Upgrade. The new firmware is loaded on the Modem Router. When the
process is complete, the Modem Router will be running with the new firmware.
