◆ Hardware Version - This displays the current hardware version. The

To upgrade the Router's firmware, follow the instructions below:
1. Download a more recent firmware upgrade file from the SMC website
(http://www.smc.com).

the Browse button to locate the update file.

N OTE : 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.

configuration, so before upgrading the firmware write down some of your
customized settings to avoid losing them.

firmware is being upgraded, otherwise, the Router may be damaged.
