The router will restart as a part of the firmware upgrade and the router login page will be
displayed when the upgrade is complete.
Your current router settings will normally be carried across to the new firmware, however
it may be possible that certain settings are changed or reset to factory defaults. If your
broadband username and password settings are reset, it may take about 5 minutes
before your Internet connection is automatically restored. If this doesn’t happen you can
manually update your broadband username and password to make a connection to the
Internet. See

TIME SETTINGS
Your Bright Box Wireless Router keeps time by connecting to a Network Time Protocol (NTP)
server as soon as you connect to the Internet. This allows the router to synchronize the
system clock to time settings on the Internet. This is important, as it means the logs on your
router displayed in the System Log page, and any time based scheduled rules you set up in
the Schedule Rule are correct.
The synchronisation to the NTP time service is enabled by default on the Bright Box router.
The default NTP server is ntp.readytoconnect.co.uk and is synchronised to Greenwich Mean
Time (GMT).
It is possible to disable the NTP time synchronisation, although this is not recommended as it
will prevent the correct time being displayed in the System Log and schedule rule not
working.
To update the Automatic Time Server Maintenance setting:
1.
Login to the router’s admin pages.
2.
Click on the Advanced Set-Up tab and click Accept on the ‘Please proceed with
caution’ page.
3.
Click on System in the left hand navigation menu to expand the System menu:
4.
Click on Time Settings on the left hand menu:

time synchronisation with the NTP server, or select ‘Disable’ to switch off time
synchronisation. In this example we’ll select ‘Enable’:
