publish a firmware upgrade either to fix a problem or to add features to your
router
IMPORTANT
Do not interrupt the upgrade process You should not turn off the
router or press the Reset button during the upgrade Doing so may
permanently disable the router
If you are upgrading from a laptop computer, make sure that the
laptop is connected to a power source or that the battery is fully
charged
Disable your computer's Sleep mode It might interrupt the
upgrade process
If you are upgrading from a computer with a wireless network
connection, make sure that you have strong wireless signal
strength If not, move your computer closer to your router
