3.2 Firmware Upgrade Tool

Use the firmware upgrade tool to upgrade firmware earlier than version 3.0.5 to the latest

version firmware on the powerline device directly connected to your computer. This is

necessary as devices with ZyXEL’s early version firmware are not compatible with the latest

Utility or with devices running ZyXEL’s latest version firmware.

" The firmware is included in the Tool. You do not need to download the

firmware separately.

1 Connect the powerline device to be upgraded to your computer.

2 Close the Utility and Firmware Detection Tool if either of them are open.

3 Double click on the Firmware Upgrade Tool to run the file.

4 Click Next to begin the firmware upgrade process.
