New firmware versions are posted at http://www.smc.com and can
be downloaded for free. There is no need to upgrade the firmware unless
the new firmware has a new feature you want to use. However, when
experiencing problems caused by the Router rather than the configuration,
you can try to upgrade the firmware.
