Upgrade your router firmware

Tools > Firmware
TRENDnet may periodically release firmware upgrades that may add features or fix
problems associated with your TRENDnet router model and version. To check if there is
a firmware upgrade available for your device, please check your TRENDnet model and
version using the link. http://www.trendnet.com/downloads/
In addition, it is also important to verify if the latest firmware version is newer than the
one your router is currently running. To identify the firmware that is currently loaded on
your router, log in to the router, click on the Status tab and then on the Device
Information sub-tab. The firmware used by the router is listed at the top of this page. If
there is a newer version available, also review the release notes to check if there were
any new features you may want or if any problems were fixed that you may have been
experiencing.
1. If a firmware upgrade is available, download the firmware to your computer.
2. Unzip the file to a folder on your computer.
Please note the following:
• Do not interrupt the firmware upgrade process. Do not turn off the device or
press the Reset button during the upgrade.
•
If you are upgrade the firmware using a laptop computer, ensure that the
laptop is connected to a power source or ensure that the battery is fully
charged.
•
Disable sleep mode on your computer as this may interrupt the firmware
upgrade process.
•
Do not upgrade the firmware using a wireless connection, only using a wired
network connection.
• Any interruptions during the firmware upgrade process may permanently
damage your router.
