You can upgrade to a newer firmware version from the Administration web page. In the Firmware Upgrade section, to upgrade your firmware, click Browse, locate and select the firmware image on your host, and click Upgrade. After validating the new firmware image, the new image writes to flash, and the router automatically reboots with the latest firmware. Note: During the firmware upgrade, do NOT try to go online, turn off the DSR, shut down your PC, or interrupt the process in any way until the operation is complete. The process, including the reboot process, should take only a minute or so. Interrupting the upgrade process at specific points when the flash is being written may corrupt the flash memory and render the router unusable without a low-level process of restoring the flash firmware (not through the web GUI).
