N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit ADSL2+ Modem Router DGND3700 Automatic Firmware Checking On When automatic firmware checking is on, the wireless modem router performs the check and notifies you if an upgrade is available or not as shown here. Figure 33. Firmware check notification screens  To turn on automatic firmware checking: 1. Click Yes to allow the wireless modem router to download and install the new firmware. The upgrade process could take a few minutes. When the upload is complete, your wireless modem router restarts. 2. Go to the DGND3700 support page at http://www.netgear.com/support and read the new firmware release notes to determine whether you need to reconfigure the modem router after upgrading. Note: If you get a "Firmware needs to be reloaded" message, it means a problem has been detected with the router's firmware. Follow the prompts to correct the problem, or see Firmware Needs to Be Reloaded on page 153 for a description of the steps.
