version is found, you can have it downloaded and installed in one step. Alternatively, you can

Tip: Before upgrading the router software, use the router Settings Backup menu to save
your configuration settings. A router upgrade might revert the router settings back to
the factory defaults. If so, after completing the upgrade, you can restore your
settings from the backup.
