What is firmware and why should I update it?
Firmware is a programming that is updated into an equipment
gadget. Firmware controls how your gadget carries on. It is also recommended
that you refresh the firmware on your NETGEAR items at whatever point new
firmware ends up accessible. New firmware regularly settles bugs, contains new
highlights, and shields you from security vulnerabilities. A few items can
routinely check for new firmware and download it, or you can check for new
firmware and download it physically.
If you want to want
to be kept updated on the firmware update, one of the easiest way is through
Netgear genie application. You can download the genie application from mywifiext.net
or you can download it directly from the website. Make sure that you do not
download the genie application other than mywifiext.net link or from the
official website. The genie app will always keep you updated about the firmware
you are using.
However if you do not
have the genie app and you want to check on the firmware update, you can do it
by getting on to the mywifiext.net link or the IP address of your extender. Once
you are in mywifiext.net or the extender log in page, you will be prompted to
enter the user id and the password which you have created during the initial
setup. Select the wireless setting and you will see the option for the
firmware. You can click on check for the firmware update and it will give you
the details of whether your device is running on the latest firmware version or
you need an update.
The firmware update takes approximately 2 minutes. The
extender will reboot on its own and then wait for the firmware update. After
the completion of the update, again log in to mywifiext.net or the IP address
of the extender and then click on firmware update. If it shows no firmware
update is available that means your extender has been updated with the latest
firmware version, you will see all the green light lid up solid green on the
LED panel of your extender. Firmware update is a very crucial element in any
operating systems. When it comes to the extender, it will enhance the signal
strength of your range booster and optimize the performance of the device.
You can check the difference by yourself. When you log in to
mywifiext.net for the firmware update, before you proceed any further, you can
check the signal coverage and other parameters being produced by your extender.
On the completion of the firmware update, again log in to the mywifiext.net or
enter the IP address of the extender which will take you to the range booster
configuration page, and then check the signal strength and other parameters,
you will see a better figures. Firmware," as a rule, alludes to the
projects that assist a gadget or device do what it should do; it's the
foundation programming that runs the machine.
