Check for and update your firmware manually. You can compare versions, obtain new
firmware from NETGEAR’s website, and then upload it. See

“Updating Manually to New

Router Firmware” on page 6-9

.

Checking for New Firmware in the Router Upgrade Screen

To check for new firmware and allow the router to automatically install it:

1. Select Router Upgrade under Maintenance in the main menu. The Router Upgrade screen

displays.

2. Check for new software versions by clicking the Check button.

If a new version is found, information about it appears.

Note: Before updating the router software, NETGEAR recommends that you save your

configuration settings (see

“Backing Up and Restoring the Configuration” on

page 6-6

). A firmware update might cause the router settings to revert to the

factory defaults. If this happens, after completing the update, you can restore
your settings from the backup.
