Wireless-B Internet Video Camera
Linksys recommends that you upgrade the Camera’s firmware within your network; in other words, use a
computer within the Camera’s local network. If you attempt to upgrade the Camera’s firmware from a remote
location—using a computer outside of the Camera’s local network—the upgrade will fail.
To upgrade the firmware:
1.
Go to the Linksys website,
www.linksys.com
, and download the firmware upgrade file for the Camera. Then
extract the file.
2.
From the
Help
screen, click the
Firmware Upgrade
button.
3.
You will see the screen shown in Figure 8-19. Click the
Browse
button to find the extracted file, and then
double-click it.
4.
Click the
Start Upgrade
button, and follow the on-screen instructions. To cancel the upgrade, click the
Cancel
button. For further help, click the
Help
button.
