Wireless N Powerline Extender<br />
Figure 3-27 Firmware Upgrade<br />
New firmware versions are posted at http://www.tp-link.com and can be downloaded for free.<br />
‣ Firmware Version - Here displays the current firmware version.<br />
‣ Hardware Version - Here displays the current hardware version. The hardware version of the<br />
upgrade file must accord with the current hardware version.<br />
Note:<br />
1 There is no need to upgrade the firmware unless the new firmware has a new feature you want to<br />
use. However, when experiencing problems caused by the device itself, you can try to upgrade the<br />
firmware.<br />
2 Before upgrading the device’s firmware, you should write down some of your customized settings to<br />
avoid losing important configuration settings of device.<br />
To upgrade the device's firmware, follow these instructions:<br />
1. Download a more recent firmware upgrade file from the <strong>TP</strong>-LINK website (http://www.tp-link.com).<br />
2. Enter the path name or click Browse… to select the downloaded file on the computer into the File<br />
blank.<br />
3. Click Upgrade.<br />
4. The Powerline Extender will reboot while the upgrading has been finished.<br />
Note:<br />
The firmware version must correspond to the hardware. The upgrade process takes a few moments and<br />
the Powerline Extender restarts automatically when the upgrade is complete. It is important to keep<br />
power applied during the entire process. Loss of power during the upgrade could damage the Powerline<br />
Extender.<br />
