Warning: When uploading software to the modem router, do not interrupt the Web
browser by closing the window, clicking a link, or loading a new page. If
the browser is interrupted, it may corrupt the software. When the upload
is complete, your modem router will automatically restart. The upgrade
process will typically take about two minutes. In some cases, you may
need to clear the configuration and reconfigure the modem router after
upgrading.
