Update the Firmware
The gateway firmware (routing software) is stored in flash memory. You might see a message
at the top of the genie screens 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 to
update your product.
To manually update your gateway with firmware that you downloaded:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2.
Type
http://routerlogin.net
or
www.routerlogin.com
.
A login screen displays.
3.
Enter the gateway user name and password.
The user name is
admin
. The default password is
password
. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home screen displays.
4.
Select
Advanced > Administration > Router Update
.
The Firmware Update screen displays.
5.
Click
Browse
, navigate to the firmware file (the file ends in
.chk
), and select the firmware
file.
6.
Click the

button.
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 gateway.
A progress bar shows the progress of the firmware upload process.
When the update is complete, your gateway restarts. The upload process can take up to
three minutes and the upgrade process typically takes about one minute. To determine
whether you need to reconfigure the gateway after updating, read the new firmware
release notes.
