4.5.3 Firmware 

Your router’s “firmware” is the software that allows it to operate and provides all its 
functionality. Think of your router as a dedicated computer, and the firmware as the 
software it runs. Over time this software may be improved and modified, and your router 
allows you to upgrade the software it runs to take advantage of these changes. 
To upgrade the firmware of router, you should download or copy the firmware to your local 
environment first. Press the 

“Browse…”

 button to specify the path of the firmware file. 

Then, click 

“Upgrade”

 to start upgrading. When the procedure is completed, router will 

reset automatically to make the new firmware work. 

 

 

 

New Firmware Location:

 

Type in the location of the file you want to upload in this field 

or click 

Browse 

to find it. 

 

New Romfile Location:

 Romfile means the configuration file. Type in the location of the 

file you want to upload in this field or click Browse to find it. 

 

Browse:

 Click 

Browse... 

to find the

 

.ras file you want to upload. Remember that you 

must decompress compressed (.zip) files before you can upload them. 

 

Romfile Backup: 

Click ROMFILE SAVE button to save current configuration file to your 

PC. 

 

UPGRADE

: Click 

UPGRADE 

to begin the upload process. This process may take up to 

two minutes. After two minutes, log in again and check your new firmware version in the 
System Status screen. 
 

DO NOT power down the router or interrupt the firmware upgrading while it is still 
in process.  Improper operation could damage the router
