Update the Firmware of the Router
The router firmware is stored in flash memory.
You can check to see if new firmware is available and update the router to the new
firmware. You can also visit the NETGEAR support website, download the firmware
manually, and update the router to the new firmware.
Check for New Firmware and Update the Router

The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Administration > Firmware Update
The Firmware Update page displays.
5. Click the Check button.
The router detects new firmware if any is available and displays a message asking if
you want to download and install it.

WARNING: To avoid the risk of corrupting the firmware, do not interrupt the update.
