4.5.3 Firmware
Your router’s “firmware” is the software that allows it to operate and provides all its
functionality. Think of your router as a dedicated computer, and the firmware as the software
it runs. Over time this software may be improved and modified, and your router allows you to
upgrade the software it runs to take advantage of these changes.
To upgrade the firmware of BiPAC 5200 Series, you should download or copy the firmware
to your local environment first. Press the “Browse…” button to specify the path of the
firmware file. Then, click “Upgrade” to start upgrading. When the procedure is completed,
BiPAC 5200 Series will reset automatically to make the new firmware work.
New Firmware Location: Type in the location of the file you want to upload in this field or
click Browse to find it.
Browse: Click Browse... to find the .ras file you want to upload. Remember that you must
decompress compressed (.zip) files before you can upload them.

two minutes.
