or later.

Warning: When uploading firmware to the 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 might corrupt the firmware, causing router to be
unworkable and inaccessible. When the upload is complete, your router
will automatically restart. The upgrade process typically takes about 1
minute. In some cases, you might need to clear the configuration and
reconfigure the router after upgrading.
