Upgrade your controller firmware

Management > Maintenance
TRENDnet may periodically release firmware upgrades that may add features or fix
problems associated with your TRENDnet controller model and version. To check if
there is a firmware upgrade available for your device, please check your TRENDnet
model and version using the link. http://www.trendnet.com/support.
In addition, it is also important to verify if the latest firmware version is newer than the
one your controller is currently running. To identify the firmware that is currently
loaded on your controller, log in to the controller, click on the Administrator section and
then on the Status. The firmware used by the controller is listed at the top of this page.
If there is a newer version available, also review the release notes to check if there were
any new features you may want or if any problems were fixed that you may have been
experiencing.
Important Note: If your current firmware version is 2.00, you will need to upgrade to
firmware version 2.01 before upgrading to version 2.02 or above.
Please note the following:

Do not interrupt the firmware upgrade process. Do not turn off the device or
push the reset button during the firmware upgrade.

If you are upgrading the firmware using a laptop computer, ensure that the
laptop is connected to a power source or ensure that the battery is fully
charged.

Disable sleep mode on your computer as this may interrupt the firmware
upgrade process.

Do not upgrade the firmware using a wireless connection, only use a wired
network connection.

Any interruptions during the firmware upgrade process may permanently
damage your controller.
