Update the Modem Router Firmware
The modem router firmware (routing software) is stored in flash memory. You can update 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 Update screen to check and update to the latest
firmware for your product if new firmware is available.
To check for new firmware and update your modem router:
1. Select ADVANCED > Administration > Router Update
.
2. Click the Check button.
The modem router finds new firmware information if any is available.
3. Click the Yes button.
The modem router locates the firmware that you downloaded and begins the update. The
firmware file ends in .img.
4. (Optional) If you have manually downloaded new firmware from the NETGEAR support
website:
a. Click the
Browse button,
navigate to the firmware file (the file ends in .img), and
select the firmware file.
b. Click the Upload
button.
A progress bar shows the progress of the firmware upload process.
WARNING:
To avoid the risk of corrupting the firmware, do not interrupt the
upload. For example, do not close the browser, click a link, or load
a new page. Do not turn off the modem router.
When the upload is complete, your modem router restarts. The firmware update process
typically takes about three minutes.
