If you have the ethernet plugged in, will it automaticaly do the firmware updates?

Alerts that there is an update but I think you have to acknowledge and tell it to update.

Yes, provided your system has software to communicate with the devices via ethernet connection

It will ask for an update if it is needed. You will then need to download it over Wi-Fi

No. If you are just setting it up take the ethernet connection out of the back of your router and plug it into the Trendnet device to run through the CD installation. Then when it's done, put the ethernet back into the router and then go plug your Trendnet in whatever you are connecting wirelessly and your done. I just literally did it since someone hit the reset button and erased all my initial setups :).

If you connect to the internet, it automatically asks if you want to download the new firmware version 1017.

I'd bet if it did, it would say so. so I'd guess no. No telling what the future might hold with a firmware update though

no. product is squirrely, subject to freezing often, even after updating firmware. there are better answers out there.

It probably does. The drive itself is a great drive the problem lies in the whole firmware upgrade process.

I have the latest firmware installed and it can work like an access point now

Doesn't seem to... the ones I have been getting off the shelf still grab the new firmware when hooked up.

YES - I just installed a used WRE54G with 1.0 firmware (no ethernet port) and it had to be configured FIRST with WEP but then allowed WPA (Not WPA2)

Yes. Its not when you first turn it on, but run the software update and its automatically there.

The software can be updated. The set has wifi capability and can upgrade over your network connection. Be aware that if your network/internet is interrupted for any reason for even a few seconds, you will have to start over. If the set is within a reasonable distance from the router, you might want to make an ethernet connection.

YES! I've reported this to Netgear support and all they want me to do is keep sending them proof of purchase information and what not, and not addressing the issue! I had a batch of routers come stock with firmware versions 1.2.0.16_40.0.66 & 1.2.0.32_40.0.74 and both give insanely poor wireless speed tests, barely over 1M. After I installed firmware version 1.2.0.28_40.0.72, then wireless speed tests matched wired tests. Hope this was helpful to anyone having the same issues!

I just plugged the network extender (alone) into my house's coaxial cable network and it automatically synced up with my FIOS router. It even duplicated the SSID and security. I didn't have to do anything. That was fantastic. Although I do have the option to change these settings if I want to create a different SSID.

Joanna, Yes but I can say that all routers out there require firmware updates to address bugs and/or add new features. If you drive a newer car I bet there are updates for the 4 or 5 modules waiting to be installed by your dealer.
