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 Modem Router rather than 
the configuration, you can try to upgrade the firmware. 

2)  When you upgrade the Modem 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 Modem Router or press the Reset button while the firmware is being 

upgraded.

when the upgrade is complete.

the Modem Router via the next screen.
