the routing software of the fwg114p wireless firewall/print server is stored in flash memory, and can be upgraded as new software is released by netgear. upgrade files can be downloaded from netgear's website. if the upgrade file is compressed (.zip file), you must first extract the binary file before sending it to the router. the upgrade file can be sent to the router using your browser.

    the web browser used to upload new firmware into the fwg114p wireless firewall/print server must support http uploads. netgear recommends using microsoft internet explorer or netscape navigator 3.0 or above.

    from the main menu of the browser interface, under the maintenance heading, select the router upgrade heading.

    to upload new firmware:

    1. download and unzip the new software file from netgear.

    2. in the router upgrade menu, click the browse button and browse to the location of the binary (.img) upgrade file

    3. click upload.

    when uploading software to the fwg114p, it is important not to interrupt the web browser by closing the window, clicking a link, or loading a new page. if the browser is interrupted, it may corrupt the software. when the upload is complete, your router will automatically restart. the upgrade process will typically take about one minute.

    in some cases, you may need to reconfigure the router after upgrading.
