Enabling Auto Update on Your Belkin Router
The Router will automatically check for a newer version of
firmware every time you log into the dashboard and alert you with

You can choose to download the new version or ignore it.
You will see a series of prompts warning you that the firmware is
about to be updated. Please do not disconnect the power from
the Router at this time as it could cause the system to fail.
