-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 +===== Why do I see warning about an outdated firmware version?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 +If a warning about the outdated version appears, it is recommended to update the module's firmware.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.
