2. If you connected the Ethernet cable and quickly launched your browser and typed in the
router URL, your computer might need a minute or two to recognize the LAN connection.
Relaunch your browser and try again.
3. If you are having trouble accessing the router wirelessly, NETGEAR recommends that
during setup you use an Ethernet cable to connect your computer so that you can log in to
the wireless modem router.
Note: If you cannot connect to the wireless router, check the Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) properties in the Network Connections section of
your PC Control Panel. They should be set to obtain both IP and
DNS server addresses automatically. See your computer

Upgrade Router Firmware
When you log in and if you are connected to the Internet, the Firmware Upgrade Assistant
screen displays so you can upgrade to the latest available firmware. See
Chapter 5, Network
Maintenance, for more information about upgrading firmware.
1. Click Yes to check for new firmware (recommended). The modem router checks the
NETGEAR database for new firmware.
2. If no new firmware is available, click No to exit. You can check for new firmware later.
3. If new firmware is available, click Yes to upgrade the router with the latest firmware. After the
upgrade, the router restarts.
CAUTION:
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 and the Ready
light has stopped blinking for several seconds.
You cannot upgrade firmware until you have established your Internet connection as
described in
Setup Wizard on page 24.
