<ol>
<li style="font-weight:bold;color:red;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>The update process is completed when the on-screen progress bar completes. If power LED light turns amber and is blinking, power cycle the router to complete the upgrade.</strong></span></li>
<li style="font-weight:bold;color:red;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>If the update progress bar on the web interface does not display correctly during firmware update, you can still check the status using the Power LED.<br />
The Power LED should be blinking (amber) during firmware update. After the firmware update is done and the system boots up, the LED changes to a steady amber color.<br />
DO NOT power off or reboot the device during firmware upgrade, it may corrupt the firmware and cause the device not to work.</strong></span></li>
