- | The firmware of a module can directly be updated | + | ====== Firmware update in the NetModule Wireless Router? ====== |
+ | |||
+ | NetModule wireless routers have many components installed. Some of them run their own firmware. The NetModule Router **Software** (NRSW) is Linux-based and is the core system of the router, accessible through the WebManager. The cellular modems and other components run local programs that we call **firmware**. | ||

+ | On this overview page you will find the answers to most questions. | ||

+ | ===== Why do I see a warning about an outdated firmware version? ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ :faq:screenshot_2021-03-19_19-42-16.png?nolink |}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | In some cases, a firmware update is required to ensure stable operation in the future. | ||
+ | If a warning about the outdated version appears, it is recommended to update the module's firmware. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Do I need to worry about other modules? ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | If no warning is displayed, there is no general need for an update. | ||
+ | Please take a look at the [[documentation:firmware-releases|WWAN-Modems]] Releases to see the history of updates. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== How do I perform a firmware update? ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Detailed instructions can be found on the [[maintenance:modem-firmware-update|firmware-update]] Wiki page. | ||
+ | The update process is fail-safe. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Do I need to update the router software before updating the firmware? ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | If your router software (NRSW) is older than one year, an update is generally recommended. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Starting with 4.5.0.100, 4.4.0.107 and 4.3.0.108, we have increased the maximum file size for direct upload. | ||
+ | If you are using older software, you will need to use the "Download from URL" feature. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== What is the difference between the VOICE1 and WWAN1 modules? ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | It is the same module that we use for two functions. Therefore, only one update is required. Please select WWAN1 for the update. |
