Wireless-N 150 Router WNR1000v2 User Manual Updating the Router Firmware The firmware of the WNR1000v2 router is stored in flash memory, and can be updated as NETGEAR releases new firmware. You can update your firmware by logging into the router and using one of these procedures: • Enable the Check for Updated Firmware Upon Log-in check box. Each time you log in to the router, it will automatically detect a new version of the firmware and then install it. This check box is enabled in the router's default state. See "Logging In To Your Wireless Router" on page 1-2. • Use the Check button in the Router Upgrade screen. Instead of having the router check for new firmware every time you log in, you can use Router Upgrade, under Maintenance in the main menu. See "Checking for New Firmware in the Router Upgrade Screen." • Check for and update your firmware manually. You can compare versions, obtain new firmware from NETGEAR's website, and then upload it. See "Updating Manually to New Router Firmware" on page 6-10. Note: Before updating the router software, NETGEAR recommends that you save your configuration settings (see "Backing Up and Restoring the Configuration" on page 6-8). A firmware update might cause the router settings to revert to the factory defaults. If this happens, after completing the update, you can restore your settings from the backup. Checking for New Firmware in the Router Upgrade Screen To check for new firmware and allow the router to automatically install it: 1. Select Router Upgrade under Maintenance in the main menu. The Router Upgrade screen displays. Figure 6-6 Using Network Monitoring Tools 6-9 v1.0, September 2009
