RN516 BIOS update

Hi,   How can I got about upgrading my RN516 to the latest BIOS level?  I am hoping to add support for VT-x. This is what the log currently says it has: sys/class/dmi/id/bios_date ::::::::::::::...

The very next BIOS version after the one on your system enabled VT-x support.

 

There are additional changes in even newer BIOS such as a USB3 Firmware Update and improvements to the USB Boot Recovery process (no longer any need to press the O.K. button - it's tricky to get the timing right with doing that).

      Your system already has the latest BIOS for the RN516.
