• 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.
