Update the router and satellite firmware
You can use the router web interface to check if new firmware is available and update
your router and satellite, or you can manually update the firmware for your router and
satellite.
Check for new firmware and update the router and satellite
The firmware (routing software) is stored in flash memory. You might see a message at
the top of the pages when new firmware is available. You can respond to that message
to update the firmware or you can check to see if new firmware is available and update
your router and satellite.
Note: We recommend that you connect a computer to the router using an Ethernet
connection to update the firmware.
To check for new firmware and update your router and satellite:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your
mesh network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.com.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Administration > Router Update > Online Update.
The Router Update page displays.
5. Click the Check button.
The router finds new firmware information if any is available and displays a message
asking if you want to download and install it.
6. If new firmware is available, click the Yes button.
The router locates and downloads the firmware and begins the update.
WARNING:
To avoid the risk of corrupting the firmware, do not interrupt the update.
For example, do not close the browser, click a link, or load a new page. Do not turn
off the router or satellite.
