Note : Never POWER OFF your router when the firmware is upgrading. Do not close the browser windows while the FIRMWARE is downloading. Make sure you have an Ethernet connection whilst upgrading your router firmware.
My laptop is crashed, so I do not know the file or path of the previous version, how do I update firmware now?
My last password inputted during the initial setup had not changed; yet it is not accepted while trying to update the filmware’s procedure. I used your procedure of inputting my router’s serial number and it is not accepted, despite verifying it many times on my router.
Secondly, I find it very annoying in accepting your login procedure (routerlogin.net) where many vendors state, Enter Here to Start in order to get into the actual login screen. Pls explain.
