While uploading firmware into the Netgear router, a user has to make sure that he has downloaded the correct firmware for the device. Do not forget to unzip the downloaded firmware file before the upload process, you can extract it using the decompression softwares like WinZip and WinRAR. Users are also recommended to have a wired connection between the computer and a router while uploading the firmware. A wired connection will avoid sudden disconnection during the upload process. You can perform the firmware update either using a manual method or choosing an Automatic method using the routerlogin.net interface.

If a user has forgotten the login password of the dlinkrouter.local window, he can recover it using the web interface of the Dlink router. When you reach the login window of the Dlink, instead of typing in the login credentials, click the Forgot password tab. You will get redirected to the Password recovery page, where you need to type in the answers to the security questions mentioned on the page.
