Cisco CVR100W Wireless-N VPN Router Administration Guide
You can upgrade the CVR100W to a newer firmware from the Administration >
Firmware Upgrade page.
During a firmware upgrade, do not try to go online, turn off the device, shut down
the PC, or interrupt the process in any way until the operation is complete. This
process takes about a minute, including the reboot process. Interrupting the
upgrade process at specific points when the flash memory is being written to may
corrupt it and render the router unusable.
To upgrade to a newer version of the firmware:
Choose Administration > Firmware Upgrade.
The following information is displayed:
• Device Model: Displays the device model.
• PID VID: Displays the product ID and version ID.
• Current Firmware Version: Displays the firmware version that the
CVR100W is currently using.
In the Download the latest firmware field, click Download to download the latest
version of the firmware from the specified website to your local PC. Make sure that
you have an active WAN connection.
In the Locate & select the upgrade file field, click Browse to locate and select the
downloaded firmware image from your local PC.
Click Start Upgrade.
After the new firmware image is validated, the new image is written to flash, and
the CVR100W is automatically rebooted with the new firmware.
Resetting the CVR100W to its default factory settings erases all of your custom
settings.
