New firmware versions posted on the website of PLANET Technology can be
downloaded for free. There is no need to upgrade the firmware unless the new firmware
has a new feature you want to use. However, when experiencing problems caused by
the Router rather than the configuration, you can try to upgrade the firmware.
When you upgrade the Router's firmware, you may lose its current configurations, so
before upgrading the firmware please write down some of your customized settings to
avoid losing important settings.
