Connect an Network / Ethernet cable
from your computer to LAN Port 1 on
your Wi-Fi router.
Open your browser and type
http://192.168.0.1/ into the address bar.
Note if you have changed the LAN
address of your router from its default
value, you will need to put in the
appropriate address here.
If you find the default doesn't work but
you don't know what the right value is,
check your network settings and try the
IP address of your "default gateway".
Log in using the admin password of
your router (the user name default
is “admin” with no password).

Click on the "Tools" tab, then
on the "Firmware" button.

Click on the "Browse" button
and select the file containing
the new firmware from the
folder you saved it in.
Click the "Apply” button and wait
for the counter to get to zero.
DO NOT unplug the router until
the counter reaches zero!
Usually when the counter reaches
zero, you will need to unplug the
power to the router and plug it
back in again (This is perfectly
safe to do, once the counter has
reached zero. – then go to step
2 and log back into the router and
continue with step 7 below).
