AC1000 WiFi Router Model R6080 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.

Check for New Firmware and Update the Router For you to check for new firmware, the router must be connected to the Internet. To check for new firmware and update your router: 1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the network. 2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net. A login window opens. 3. Enter the router user name and password. The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive. 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. 6. To download and install the new firmware, click the Yes button. The router locates the firmware, downloads it, and begins the update. WARNING: To avoid the risk of corrupting the firmware, do not interrupt the update. For example, do not close the browser, click a link, or load a new page. Do not turn off the router. Wait until the router finishes restarting and the Power LED turns solid green. A progress bar might show the progress of the firmware upload process. The firmware upload process takes several minutes. When the upload is complete, your router restarts.
