Maintenance
v1.2, September 2006
The routing software of the 54Mpbs Wireless Router is stored in FLASH memory, and can be
upgraded as new software is released by NETGEAR. Upgrade files can be downloaded from the
NETGEAR Web site. If the upgrade file is compressed (.ZIP file), you must first extract the binary
(.BIN or .IMG) file before sending it to the router. The upgrade file can be sent to the router using
your browser.
From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under the Maintenance heading, select the Router
Upgrade heading.
To upload new firmware:
1. Download and unzip the new software file from NETGEAR.
2. In the Router Upgrade menu, click the Browse button and browse to the location of the binary
(.BIN or .IMG) upgrade file
3. Click Upload.
In some cases, you may need to reconfigure the router after upgrading.
Note: The Web browser used to upload new firmware into the 54Mpbs Wireless Router
must support HTTP uploads. NETGEAR recommends using Microsoft Internet
Explorer or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or higher.
Note: When uploading software to the 54Mpbs Wireless Router, it is important not to
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 router will automatically restart. The upgrade process
will typically take about one minute.
