R6100 WiFi Router
Upgrade the Router Firmware
The router firmware (routing software) is stored in flash memory. You can upgrade the
firmware from the Administration menu on the Advanced tab. You might see a message at
the top of the genie screens when new firmware is available for your product.
You can use the Check button on the Router Upgrade screen to check if new firmware is
available, and to update your product.
To check for new firmware and update your router:
1. Select ADV
ANCED > Administration > Firmware Upgrade.
Click
Check
2. Click the Check button.
The router finds new firmware information if any is available.
3. Click the Ye
s button.
The router locates the firmware you downloaded (the file ends in .img) and begins the
upgrade.
WARNING:
To avoid the risk of corrupting the firmware, do not interrupt the
upgrade. 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 upgrade process typically takes
about one minute. Read the new firmware release notes to determine whether you need
to reconfigure the router after upgrading.
