Updating firmware
Firmware updates may be available periodically from Netopia or from a site maintained by your organization's

firmware. The router firmware governs how the router communicates with your network and the WAN module;
the WAN module firmware governs how the WAN module communicates with the remote site. WAN module
firmware is included on your Netopia CD for XMODEM transfer and later updates will be available on the Netopia
website. Router firmware updates are also periodically posted on the Netopia website.
