you can update the router software over the lan or wan using an ftp client program. windows includes an ftp client program that can be accessed using the start button and run menu. other ftp client programs are available through many software retailers and shareware sites.

    to update the router software:

    1. rename the new software file to ras.

    2. establish an ftp connection to the router.

    no login name is necessary. the password is the current manager password. the factory default password is 1234.

    3. select binary (not ascii) transfer mode.

    4. use your ftp program to put the file named ras in the router.

    after the data transfer is finished, the router programs the upgraded firmware into flash memory and reboots itself, dropping the ftp session.
