If this is one of the new ones:

1. Download the file.

2. Access the router @ 192.168.0.1


Username is : admin
Password is : password or 1234



go to the firmware screen, click browse and find the file on your pc.


If it is an older one, it needs to be accessed via a serial connection. (serial cable needed)

Plug it in and access it using hyperterminal.
Start a telnet seesion.
