To upgrade the router's firmware, follow these instructions below: 
1.  Download a most recent firmware upgrade file from our website (www.tp-link.com).   
2.  Enter or select the path name where you save the downloaded file on the computer into the 
File blank.   
3.  Click the 
Upgrade button.   
4.  The router will reboot while the upgrading has been finished.   
 
Note: 
1)  New firmware versions are posted at 
 and 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.
 
2)  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. 
3)  Do not turn off the router or press the Reset button while the firmware is being upgraded.
 
Loss 
of power during the upgrade could damage the router.   
4)  The firmware version must correspond to the hardware.   
5)  The upgrade process takes a few moments and the router restarts automatically when the 
upgrade is complete.
