How to quickly complete wireless route upgrade

Many users do not know how to upgrade the wireless route, so I will give you a detailed answer below, so that you can quickly upgrade your wireless route to the latest version. I believe that many readers have already purchased wireless routers. Through wireless routers and wireless network adapters, they can establish wireless networks in their own homes, and then they can achieve wireless surfing anytime, anywhere.

However, many readers have encountered that due to their early time to buy a wireless router, many functions and parameter settings are not reasonable, what's more, wireless devices are unstable due to their own design. In general, you can upgrade the hardware and firmware drivers of your wireless router in addition to purchasing new devices. Today, I would like to invite you to learn how to upgrade the wireless routing, the author takes the most used TP-LINK 541G wireless router as an example to introduce.

Device introduction:

I purchased the wireless router is TP-LINK 541G, he is 54M wireless equipment, the purchase has been almost two years. Although there is no major fault in the use process, if the traffic is large or the start time is relatively long, there will be a short false death, and the computer will not be able to access the network. The author consulted the customer service of TP-LINK to learn that the hardware firmware driver needs to be updated, the wireless route can be upgraded to the latest version.

Search for and download the firmware file:

For normal wireless route upgrades, you must first obtain the latest firmware driver of the device. Generally, all major manufacturers will provide adequate technical support for their own products, we can find our own devices and drivers from the vendor's official website, as if the drivers for laptops or printers can be obtained from the official website, the latest software and firmware drivers for wireless routers or wireless network adapters can also be downloaded from the vendor's website.

Step 1: access the tp-link site and click the wireless device.

Step 2: Go to the wireless device list window and find the model we want to upgrade-TP-LINK 541G, open the product introduction page, and then click the related software tab.

Step 3: You need to know the real version of your device. You can view the running status on the vro management interface, you can also click System Tools> software upgrade to obtain the current software version and current hardware version. we need to pay attention to the current hardware version ", because different hardware versions correspond to different upgrade programs.

Step 4: Find the Upgrade Program corresponding to the hardware version of your device on the "related software" page that you just opened. For example, the author is WR541G/542G V2 00000000, then you need to download the "TL-WR541G V2/TL-WR542G V2070110)" This upgrade program, that is to say, the hardware version V2 must correspond to and the time number of the Upgrade Program suffix must be the latest. Finally, remind readers to confirm that the current hardware version of the router corresponds to this software, because the software of different hardware versions cannot be upgraded to each other. Otherwise, the device will crash after the upgrade, only return to the factory for repair.

Select the latest download time when upgrading the program. You do not need to download and upgrade all previously released upgrade programs. To put it bluntly, we only need a file of the latest time. We don't need to worry about other previously released upgrade programs. After one upgrade, it is equivalent to installing all the other upgrade patches, this is similar to the system patch we installed. you can install the SP2 patch directly at one time. You do not need to install SP1 for the XP system and then call SP2 again.

Step 5: each wireless route Upgrade Program has detailed information, which records the problems fixed during the upgrade and the newly added features, however, if you want to know all the improvements made by the upgrade, you need to know the "details" of all the update files from the firmware driver you purchased to the latest firmware driver ", in this way, we can fully understand all the performance improvements.

Common troubleshooting:

1) if you encounter a problem similar to "the upgrade is not successful, please check whether you have enabled the TFTP server ." Please check whether your TFTP server is running smoothly again. You can enter the tftp IP address in the command line to check.

2) if you encounter a file transfer error, check whether the input is correct ." Please check and ensure that the "file name" on the upgrade page is consistent with the name of the upgrade file.

3) if you encounter an error similar to "the update is not successful and the version number of the transferred file is incorrect, check whether the file name is correct ." Please make sure that the downloaded wireless route upgrade file corresponds to your vro model and hardware version. Note that in addition to the product number, different hardware versions have different wireless route upgrade programs. You can view the hardware version of your product on the upgrade page.

Summary:

So far, we have completed the upgrade of wireless routing, and our wireless devices will run more stably and efficiently, and the new features can also better serve us. Finally, I would like to remind readers to be careful when refreshing and upgrading the firmware of the router. Do not have the problem of power failure of the router, or choose the wrong firmware file for upgrade.
