 Note:
1) New firmware versions are posted at www.tp-link.com

is no need to upgrade the firmware unless the new firmware has a new feature you want to
use. However, when experiencing problems caused by the router rather than the
configuration, you can try to upgrade the firmware.

upgrading the firmware please write down some of your customized settings to avoid losing
important settings.
3) Do not turn off the router or press the Reset button while the firmware is being upgraded. Loss
of power during the upgrade could damage the router.
