Upgrade Firmware
Intel periodically releases firmware updates to provide improved performance or capabilities. Use

Browse to find and

Reset Device
Use the Reset Device function if a system failure occurs. Unlike the reset button on the Intel®
Wireless Gateway, this feature does not reload the factory default settings. It simply resets the
device to the network settings that existed on the device before the system failure occurred.
The Intel® Wireless Gateway can also be reset by using a paper clip or small object, holding in
the reset button on the back panel for five seconds, and then releasing. While the Intel® Wireless
Gateway is reset, the STAT light blinks. After the hardware reset, the settings for the Intel®
Wireless Gateway are the factory default settings.
If you were in the process of updating the network settings, those changes are lost when the device
is reset.
Click START to reset the Intel® Wireless Gateway to its current firmware settings, or press the
reset button on the Intel® Wireless Gateway to reset the factory default settings. Note that these
two options do not perform the same task.
