Upgrading From the Internet
The Router’s firmware can be automatically updated via the Internet. From the
drop-down list next to the globe icon near the top of the Firmware Upgrade
screen, a list of options appears, as described below.
Automatically Check and Upgrade
If “Automatically Check for New Version and Upgrade Wireless Broadband

upgrade, and the
URL at which to get the upgrade, in the appropriate text boxes.
The Router will then check at each time interval for upgrades and, if one is
available, upgrade the Router’s firmware.
