Upgrade the Router Firmware

The wireless modem router firmware (routing software) is stored in flash memory. By default,
when you log in to your wireless modem router, it checks the NETGEAR website for new
firmware and alerts you if there is a newer version.
WARNING:
When uploading firmware to the wireless modem 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.
