Upgrade Firmware

Click the Upgrade button to load new firmware onto the Router. New firmware versions are posted at www.linksys.com and can be downloaded for free. If the Router is not experiencing difficulties, then there is no need to download a more recent firmware version, unless that version has a new feature that you want to use.

Note: When you upgrade the Router's firmware, you may lose its configuration settings, so make sure you write down the Router settings before you upgrade its firmware.

To upgrade the Router's firmware:

1. Download the firmware upgrade file from the Linksys website.

2. Extract the firmware upgrade file.

3. Click the Upgrade button.

4. On the Firmware Upgrade screen, click the Browse button to find the firmware upgrade file.

5. Double-click the firmware upgrade file.

6. Click the Upgrade button, and follow the on-screen instructions.

Note: Do not power off the Router or press the Reset button while the firmware is being upgraded.

Check all the values and click Save Settings to save your settings. Click Cancel Changes to cancel your unsaved changes.
