Note: When uploading software to the RP614v4 router, it is important not to interrupt
the Web browser by closing the window, clicking a link, or loading a new page.
If the browser is interrupted, it may corrupt the software. When the upload is
complete, your router will automatically restart. The upgrade process will
typically take about one minute.
In some cases, you may need to reconfigure the router after upgrading.

Changing the Administrator Password

Note: Before changing the router password, use the router backup utility to save your
configuration settings. If after changing the password, you forget the new password
you assigned, you will have to reset the router back to the factory defaults to be
able to log in using the default password of password. This means you will have to
restore all the router configuration settings. If you ever have to reset the router back
to the factory defaults, you can restore your settings from the backup.
The default password for the router's Web Configuration Manager is password. Change this
password to a more secure password.
