both in lowercase letters. (For security reasons, the router has its own user name and
password.)

NETGEAR database for a new firmware image file. If no new firmware version is available,

check for new firmware later; see the online User Manual.)
4. If new firmware is available, click Yes, and the router will automatically upgrade itself with
the latest firmware.

The router user name and password are not the same as any user name or
password you might use to log in to your Internet connection.
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! When the Power
light stops blinking, wait a few seconds more before using the router.
