2. When prompted, enter admin for the router user name and password for the router password,
both in lowercase letters. (For security reasons, the router has its own user name and
password.)
The Firmware Upgrade Assistant screen will display.
3. Click Yes to check for new firmware (recommended). The router will automatically check the
NETGEAR database for a new firmware image file. If no new firmware version is available,
the message “No New Firmware Version Available” will display. (If you select “No,” you can
check for new firmware later; see the online User Manual.)
4. If new firmware is available, click Yes , and the router will automatically upgrade itself with
the latest firmware.

The router user name and password are not the same as any user name or
password you might use to log in to your Internet connection.
Do not try to go online, turn off the router, shut down the computer, or do
anything else to the router until the router finishes restarting! When the Ready
light stops blinking, wait a few seconds more before using the router.
