– The Checking for Firmware Updates screen appears unless you previously cleared the
Check for Updated Firmware Upon Log-in check box.
This message displays if the router discovers that new firmware is available. (If no new
firmware is available, the router will proceed to the router status screen.)
– To automatically update to the new firmware, click Yes to allow the router to download
and install the new firmware file from NETGEAR.
The update process typically takes about 1 minute. When the upload is complete, your router
automatically restarts.
