Gateway Upgrade

The routing software of the Model DG814 gateway is stored in FLASH memory, and can be

upgraded as new software is released by NETGEAR. Upgrade files can be downloaded from

Netgear's website. If the upgrade file is compressed (.ZIP file), you must first extract the binary

(.BIN) file before sending it to the gateway. The upgrade file can be sent to the gateway using your

browser.

Note: The Web browser used to upload new firmware into the Model DG814 gateway must

support HTTP uploads. NETGEAR recommends using Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape

Navigator 3.0 or above.

From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under the Maintenance heading, select the Gateway

Upgrade heading

to display the menu shown in Figure 5-8.

To upload new firmware:

1. Download and unzip the new software file from NETGEAR.

2. In the Gateway Upgrade menu, click the Browse button and browse to the location of the

binary (.BIN) upgrade file

3. Click Upload.

Note: When uploading software to the Model DG814 gateway, it is important not to interrupt

the Web browser by closing the window, clicking a link, or loading a new page. If the browser

is interrupted, it may corrupt the software. When the upload is complete, your gateway will

automatically restart. The upgrade process will typically take about one minute.

In some cases, you may need to reconfigure the gateway after upgrading.
