Router Upgrade

The software of the FR114P Firewall is stored in FLASH memory, and can be upgraded as new
software is released by NETGEAR. Upgrade files can be downloaded from NETGEAR's website.
If the upgrade file is compressed (.ZIP file), you must first extract the binary (.BIN or .IMG) file
before sending it to the firewall. The upgrade file can be sent to the firewall using your browser.
Note: The Web browser used to upload new firmware into the firewall must support HTTP
uploads. NETGEAR recommends using Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or
above.
