Updating your router’s firmware will improve connectivity and make your device more secure. We recommend that you install the latest available updates to keep your network safe and productive. Most routers have a built-in update checker, which may (or may not) do the entire process automatically. With an Apple AirPort router, you can use the AirPort Utility program to check for updates.

Find the router address (on Mac)

- You need to make sure you’re connected to your router’s network.


Install router update


- Enter the router’s IP address in the same way as when you visit a certain website.

- Try leaving both fields blank. Many routers do not require a username or password.
- Try entering the username “admin” and leave the password field blank. If that doesn’t work, enter the password “admin”.
- Look up the router manufacturer and model name at routerpasswords.com . The default login information may appear.
- If the default information is not accepted and you cannot figure out how to log in, you need to reset the router by holding down the physical Reset button on the back of the device. This will clear all of your router’s settings, and may also disconnect Wi-Fi (if you’ve changed any of the default settings for the network). Then you can use the default credentials.




- Find online support. For example, the keyword “Netgear support” will return netgear.com/support link .


- You need to make sure that you are not downloading an older version than the one you are using. You can see the current version on your router’s firmware update configuration page.
