Modems tested:

Important:

- Note 1: Before upgrading to new firmware, it is always a good idea to save the configuration file from your current version. This firmware version will remove a configuration for version 3.2 or lower and will not try to keep your settings.
- Note 2: Revision 5.0.0 is a significant change from previous releases. Updating from prior versions to 5.0.0 through the router UI or ECM will keep all current settings. Factory resetting 5.0.0 and then re-applying a saved configuration from an earlier version may not reset all saved passwords correctly. Downgrading from 5.0.0 or later to an earlier version WILL force a factory reset on the router. Saving a 5.0.0 or later configuration and applying it to an earlier version will change any non-default passwords to an unknown string.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
