select Attached Devices to view the table, shown below.
Figure 4-4. Attached Devices menu
For each device, the table shows the IP address, NetBIOS Host Name (if available), and Ethernet
MAC address. Note that if the router is rebooted, the table data is lost until the router rediscovers
the devices. To force the router to look for attached devices, click the Refresh button.

Upgrading the Router Software

The routing software of the RP614 v2 router is stored in FLASH memory, and can be upgraded as
new software is released by NETGEAR. Upgrade files can be downloaded from Netgear's website.
If the upgrade file is compressed (.ZIP file), you must first extract the binary (.BIN) file before
sending it to the router. The upgrade file can be sent to the router using your browser.
Note: The Web browser used to upload new firmware into the RP614 v2 router must support
HTTP uploads. NETGEAR recommends using Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator
3.0 or above.
