5.8.3 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.
