NETGEAR recommends that you back up your configuration before doing a firmware 

upgrade. After the upgrade is complete, you may need to restore your configuration settings.

The Web browser used to upload new firmware into the router must support HTTP uploads. 
NETGEAR recommends using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or above, or Netscape 
Navigator 4.7 or above.

address you have chosen for the router.

file.

Click Upload.

When uploading software to the router, it is important not to interrupt the Web 

browser by closing the window, clicking a link, or loading a new page. If the browser is 
interrupted, it may corrupt the software. When the upload is complete, your router will 
automatically restart. The upgrade process will typically take about one minute. In some 
cases, you may need to clear the configuration and reconfigure the router after 
upgrading.
