The sections below describe how to update the Router’s firmware and how to download and upload
configuration files.
Updating firmware
Firmware updates may be available periodically from Netopia or from a site maintained by your organization’s
network administrator.
The Router ships with an embedded operating system referred to as firmware. The firmware governs how the
device communicates with your network and the WAN or remote site. Firmware updates are periodically posted
on the Netopia website.
To update the router’s firmware, follow these steps:
■ Select TFTP Server Name and enter the ser ver name or IP address of the TFTP ser ver you will use. The
ser ver name or IP address is available from the site where the ser ver is located.
■ Select Firmware File Name and enter the name of the file you will download. The name of the file is
available from the site where the ser ver is located. You may need to enter a file path along with the file
name (for example, bigroot/config/myfile).
