1) 

Please note that the upgrading is only allowed via the connected wired PC. That is, your PC 

must connect to one of the ports on the Router with an Ethernet cable; otherwise, the 

following screen will appear to remind you. 

 

2) 

New firmware versions are posted at http://www.tp-link.com 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. 

3) 

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. 

4) 

Do not turn off the Router or press the Reset button while the firmware is being upgraded.
