Objective

A firmware upgrade is the combination of upgrades in respect to both software and hardware drivers for a device. This allows you to increase the performance of your network and not be required to buy any new hardware. It helps to fix bugs and other intermittent issues on the router. It may take some time to upload a new firmware. While you upgrade a new firmware do not interrupt the device until the firmware is successfully uploaded.

On the RV32x VPN Router Series, you can upload the new firmware through PC or through USB. If you want to upload the firmware through PC, you need to connect your PC to the router on a LAN port, or if you want to upload the firmware through a USB connect the USB to the router.

This article explains how to manage firmware on RV32x VPN Router Series.

Note: You need to download the latest firmware of the router and save it on your PC or your USB before you upload the firmware. If you upload the previous version firmware, your device may be reset to its factory default values. It is recommended to backup your configuration before you upgrade firmware. To know more about how to backup the configuration, refer to Backup and Restore the Configuration Files on RV320 and RV325 VPN Router Series.
