To manually upload a firmware file to your router:

1. Download the firmware for your router from the NETGEAR Download Center, save

it to your desktop, and unzip the file if needed.

Note: The correct firmware file uses an

.img

or

.chk

extension.

2. Launch a web browser from a computer that is connected to the router network.

3. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.

A login window opens.

4. 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.

5. Select ADVANCED > Administration > Router Update.

The Router Update page displays.

6. Click the Browse button.

7. Find and select the firmware file on your computer.

8. Click the Upload button.

The router begins the upload.

Note: 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. Wait until the router finishes restarting. After the router restarts, the top
right on any page displays the new firmware version.

Change the admin password

The admin password is the one you specified the first time you logged in. You can
change this password.

Note: The ideal password contains no dictionary words from any language and contains
uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. It can be up to 30 characters.
