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 the Maintenance heading. Check the

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

If you are unable to successfully upgrade using this method, refer to the online Reference

Manual available through the Documentation link on the router main menu (or through a link

on the Resource CD) for other ways to upgrade the router.

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

use the following procedure. 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, upload the

firmware to your computer, and upgrade your router.

To manually check for new router firmware:

1. Open a browser window, and type http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field of your

browser. Press Enter.

2. When prompted, enter the default user name and password (admin for the router user name

and password for the router password), both in lowercase letters. If you changed the user

name and password from the defaults, then enter your new user name and password.

3. Select Router Status under Maintenance on the router menu. When the Router Status screen

displays, note the version number of your router firmware.

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

5. From the Product Selection drop-down list, select your router model number. The Product

Support page for your router displays.

6. Under Downloads, check the most recent firmware version offered against the firmware

version shown on the Router Status screen.

7. If the version on the NETGEAR website is more recent, click on its version number, then click

Right-click and Save to Download and save the file to a location on your hard disk.

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.
