Upgrade the Router Firmware

The router firmware (routing software) is stored in flash memory. You can update the firmware
from the Administration menu on the Advanced tab. You might see a message at the top of
the Genie screens when new firmware is available for your product.
You can use the Check button on the Firmware Update screen to check and update to the
latest firmware for your product if new firmware is available.

WARNING!
When uploading firmware to the 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 firmware.
When the upload is complete, your router restarts. The upgrade process typically takes
about 1 minute. Read the new firmware release notes to determine whether or not you
need to reconfigure the router after upgrading.
