Does the EA6900 router required updated firmware to install?

It will install out of the box, and then update the firmware once connected to the internet.

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.

Not when I installed it. However, I found this router to be highly unreliable and stopped using it.

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)

I ordered the RT-N66W (same router in white) about a month ago and it came with the most up-to-date firmware already installed.

No. More important, I had to update the firmware in order to use it with my system.

Yes, it did replace the older version. It's been working fine since I connected it and accommodates my pc needs. I didn't need to buy the more expensive router that a customer service rep recommended for $125.00.

You can update the firmware over the internet (ethernet or wi-fi), no need for a thumb drive or CD.

I have not tried updating the firmware recently and can't remember if I had after purchasing the drive and installing it.

Yes, you are supposed to use a wired connection to upgrade firmware. Also, contrary to the response from Amish Funguy, this is not a Costco ripoff. Netgear support provides firmware updates for WNDR4500 and WNDR4500v2. Do not interchange firmware between devices.

Problem solved.....apparently al that was required is to first connect the device to a tv, the updated firmware was already installed...no need to download firmware.....

I placed my order on January 10th 2010 and I got v2. Unfortunately, I cant install DD-WRT, but I put the latest Linksys firmware on it, and it has been working fine doing just your standard web browsing. No problems yet...

For me only you need only update your firmware software B4 and you have the same B4+

You will have to pay for support of you want to get firmware updates. I wont pay for firmware support on a $350 router. All customers will have access to FW 5.2.x, but access to FW 5.3, (Dec 2nd 2014 release) and beyond, will require Enterprise Cloud Manager or CradleCare Support.

Welcome to the club. That's what this router does. The last update to my Medialink router's firmware was Nov 18, 2011. I'm beyond frustrated as money is hard to come by and my 4 kids need the internet not just for fun, but for school. I love paying for an overpriced internet package to give me decent internet speeds, only to have my router drop the connection at every turn!

Hi Jose, This unit has a firmware update. You can update it via internet or you can also download the update to a USB drive and plug it in this system to update. -Anthony
