Router Setup Manual

Getting to Know Your Wireless Router 13

v1.0, July 2008

select Cancel, you can check for new firmware later; see “To manually check for new router

firmware:” on page 13.

3. If new firmware is available and you want to download it, click Yes and save the file to a

location on your hard disk.

Usually the firmware image is an .img (or .chk) file and does not need to be decompressed

before you can use it to update your router. If, however, the file is a .zip file, then the image is

compressed and must be “unzipped” before you can use the file. On Windows machines, you

can use the WinZip utility to unzip the file.

To install the updated firmware to your router:

If the Firmware Update screen does not display automatically, select Router Upgrade under

Maintenance on the main menu. The Router Upgrade screen then displays.

2. Click Browse and locate the unzipped firmware image that you downloaded to your PC (the

file ends in .img or .chk).

3. Once you have selected the file, click Upload to send the software to the router. The upload

process takes several minutes. When the software upload process is complete, the router

restarts.

4. After the router has restarted, select Router Status under Maintenance on the main menu.

Check the firmware version to verify that your router now has the new software installed.

If you selected the No radio button during installation, and want to check for new firmware later,

follow the next procedure. NETGEAR recommends that you determine the firmware version

currently running on your router before you check for updates on the NETGEAR website. Then go

to the NETGEAR website, and select the model number for this router. If a later version of the

firmware is available, download the firmware to your computer, and update your router.

To manually check for new router firmware:

2. Select Router Status under Maintenance on the main menu. When the Router Status screen

displays, note the version number of your router firmware.

3. Go to http://www.NETGEAR.com/support and select Downloads from the menu bar.

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 Test

light stops blinking, wait a few seconds more before using the router.
