N150 and N300 Wireless Routers
Update the Router Firmware
The router firmware (routing software) is stored in flash memory. You might see a message at
the top of the genie screens when new firmware is available. You can respond to that
message to update the firmware, or you can check to see if new firmware is available, and to
update your product.
To check for new firmware and update your router:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com.
A login screen displays.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home screen displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Administration > Firmware Update.
5. Click the Check button.
The router finds new firmware information if any is available and displays a message
asking if you want to download and install it.
6. Click the Yes button.
The router locates and downloads the firmware.
7. To upload the firmware that you have downloaded from the NETGEAR support website, do
the following:
a. Click Browse, navigate to the firmware file (the file ends in .img), and select the
firmware file.
b. Click the Upload button.
WARNING:
To avoid the risk of corrupting the firmware, do not interrupt the
upgrade. For example, do not close the browser, click a link, or load
a new page. Do not turn off the router.
A progress bar shows the progress of the firmware upload process:
When the upload is complete, your router restarts. The upload process can take up to
three minutes, and the upgrade process typically takes about one minute. To determine
whether you need to reconfigure the router after upgrading, read the new firmware
release notes.
