5.18.3 Firmware Upgrade
Choose menu “System Tools → Firmware Upgrade”, and you can update the latest version of
firmware for the Router on the following screen.
Figure 5-90 Firmware Upgrade
The page includes the following fields:
Object Description
Firmware Version
This displays the current firmware version.
Hardware Version
This displays the current hardware version. The hardware version of the
upgrade file must accord with the Router’s current hardware version.
To upgrade the Router's firmware, follow these instructions below:
Step 1. Download a more recent firmware upgrade file from our website.
Step 2. Type the path and file name of the update file into the File field. Or click the Browse
button to locate the update file.
Step 3. Click the Upgrade button.
New firmware versions posted at the website of PLANET Technology 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.
When you upgrade the Router's firmware, you may lose its current configurations, so
before upgrading the firmware please write down some of your customized settings to
avoid losing important settings.
Do not turn off the Router or press the Reset button while the firmware is being
upgraded; otherwise, the Router may be damaged.
The Router will reboot after the upgrading has been finished.
