Update the DST Router Firmware
The DST router firmware (routing software) is stored in flash memory. You might see a
message at the top of the genie pages 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.
Check for New Firmware and Update the DST Router
For you to check for new firmware, the DST router must be connected to the Internet.
 To check for new firmware and update your DST router:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window displays.
3. Enter the router 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 page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Administration > Router Update.
The Router Update page displays.
5. Click the Check button.
The DST 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 DST 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 DST router.
A progress bar shows the progress of the firmware upload process. The firmware upload
process takes several minutes. When the upload is complete, your DST router restarts.
Read the new firmware release notes to find out if you must reconfigure the DST router
after updating.
