Upgrade the Router Firmware
The router 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
update your product.
To check for new firmware and upgrade your router:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2.
Type
http://www.routerlogin.net
or
http://www.routerlogin.com
.
A login screen displays.
3.
Enter the 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 > Firmware Upgrade
.
The Firmware Upgrade screen 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.
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.
When the upload is complete, your router restarts. The update process typically takes
about one minute. Read the new firmware release notes to find out if you need to
reconfigure the router after updating.
