Software Update

You can update the router software through the browser or by using an FTP program. The browser
procedure is described in
following section.

Updating Router Software Using FTP

You can update the router software over the LAN or WAN using an FTP client program. Windows
includes an FTP client program that can be accessed using the Start button and Run menu. Other
FTP client programs are available through many software retailers and shareware sites.
To update the router software:
Rename the new software file to ras.
1.
Establish an FTP connection to the router.
2.
No login name is necessary. The password is the current Manager password. The factory
default password is 1234.
Select binary (not ascii) transfer mode.
3.
Use your FTP program to put the file named ras in the router.
4.
After the data transfer is finished, the router programs the upgraded firmware into flash memory
and reboots itself, dropping the FTP session.

Command Interpreter Mode

To enter the command interpreter mode:
• Select option 8 from Menu 24, Maintenance, to enter the command interpreter mode.
This mode allows you to diagnose, test, and configure your router using a specified set of
commands. To see a list of valid commands, type "help" at the command prompt. For more
detailed information, go to the NETGEAR Web site, www.netgear.com.
