Note:
1) New firmware versions are posted at http://www.tp-link.com and can be downloaded for free.

want to use. However, when experiencing problems caused by the Router rather than the
configuration, you can try to upgrade the firmware.

upgrading the firmware please write down some of your customized settings to avoid losing
important settings.
