Upgrading Automatically to New Router Software

If you have selected Check for New Version Upon Log-in, your router alerts you to the new
software when you log in. Otherwise, you can click the Check button in the Router Upgrade
screen to search for new software.
If the router discovers a newer version of software, the message on the left displays when you log
in. If no new firmware is available, the message on the right displays.

To automatically upgrade to the new software, click Yes to allow the router to download and
install the new software file from NETGEAR.
Warning: When uploading software to the WNR2200 router, do not interrupt the Web
browser by closing the window, clicking a link, or loading a new page. If the
browser is interrupted, it could corrupt the software.
When the upload is complete, your router automatically restarts. The upgrade process typically
takes about three minutes. Read the new software release notes to determine whether you must
reconfigure the router after upgrading.
