Firmware-Upgrade Guide

Step 3.

 

Power on the host PC and copy/download the firmware-upgrade utility, 
“Belkin Soho.exe”, and the firmware-upgrade file, “.blk”, from belkin.com/
support. 

Activate the Firmware-Upgrade Utility Program 

 

Note:

 You should close any unnecessary running programs such as antivirus, 

system-monitoring, or automatic updates; otherwise, the stability of the 
system during the firmware-upgrade process might be undermined.

Step 4.

 

Double-click the icon of “Belkin Soho.exe”, the firmware-upgrade utility 
program. A warning message box may appear if you have antivirus software 
running on the PC. 

 
 

 

Read it carefully for information (and close any unnecessary programs before 
upgrading).  
 
Click “OK”. A firmware file-selection dialog box appears.
