| linksys.com download page. Select your device from the dropdown list. The instructions should be on the download page and with the downloaded file.
Cheers! | |

Would a Windows Update also detect new firmware as available? | |

logout into the router after you downloaded the firmware
go to the administration section, click the firmware upgrade section. From here you can select where the file is located. Presto upgraded firmware! | |

Windows update also detected newer graphics card and modem drivers for me. | |

I think the point he was trying to make is that he doesnt need to mess with windows update to update his router. Plus even to this day i still think its a bad idea to use drivers from windows update. | |
