NOTE: By upgrading the Router’s

firmware, you may lose the Router’s

configuration settings.

Under the Help tab, you’ll find links to all of the Utility’s internal support doc-

umentation, including the application that upgrades the Router’s firmware.

New firmware versions are posted at www.linksys.com and can be downloaded

for free. If your Router can access the Internet already, there’s no need to

download a newer firmware version, unless that version has a new feature that

you want to use. Loading new firmware onto your Router does not enhance the

speed or the quality of your connection speed.

See the next section for directions on enabling remote firmware upgrades (IP

Filtering).
