how to update firmware
Thank you but I think I am too old and stoopid to even be asking for help.
What NG product are you needing help on?
Is this a router, modem? Picture display?
There are gentlemen in this forum that are around 20 years my senior. đ
Its a router model R6250 and it is out of warranty.
I don't often use the old lady card but technology scares me.
Here's a written guide on doing it manually:

and then a video guide at the bottom of this KB article:

Do you know what firmware version you're on? A lot of devices automatically update.
Also, is there a reason you think you need to update? Just checking if you're having a problem or what's going on exactly.
I don't even know what firmware is; I just picked up the word somewhere.
My WIFI (or is it internet) connection seems to come and go.
Spectrum said I needed a new router but I'm not so sure.
When I first try to get online I get "there is no internet connection" but then within 10 or 15 seconds there it is.
Maybe I'm just fine the way it is.
