Upgrade the WiFi DSL Modem Router Firmware

The modem 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 Upgrade screen to check and update to the
latest firmware for your product when new firmware is available.
To check for new firmware and update your modem router:

1. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the modem router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Administration > Router Update.
The Router Update page displays.
5. Click the Check button.
The modem router finds new firmware information when any is available.
6. Click Yes to update and locate the firmware you downloaded (the file ends in .img).
WARNING:
When uploading firmware to the 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.
When the upload is complete, your modem router restarts. The upgrade process typically
takes about one minute. Read the new firmware release notes to determine whether you
need to reconfigure the modem router after upgrading.
