Upgrade Firmware 

Loopcomm continuously updates the firmware 
for all products in an effort to constantly improve our

updates that are available by pressing 

Check Now

process will reset the settings of the Router to default settings.

  

 

Manual Firmware Upgrade: In the case that the Router does not have access to the Internet, you can

 

manually upgrade the firmware by downloading the firmware file from the Loopcomm website. The firmware 
update is downloaded as a zip file and you will need to have an unzipping program to open the file. Inside the file 
will be a text document with details on the current firmware release and instructions on how to upgrade the 
firmware.

your current settings which may be reloaded at a later 
time. This feature may be useful for testing new 
features and settings without having to worry about 
returning to a stable platform.
