Changes:

- When the DMZ is enabled, access to a device through the WAN is not allowed.
- When users clicked to reorder access rules, some rules may not be available for reordering while others may be duplicated.
- Firewall does not support IPv6.
- If a client has its IP address bound to a MAC address in the IP/MAC Binding table, firewall rules/filters enabled for the client no longer work. All traffic is allowed to pass from this client even though IP blocking/filtering for the client is enabled on the RV120W.
- DHCP Option 66 does not work if the TFTP server type is set to IP.
- When Daylight Saving Time (DST) is enabled on Central European Time, the device shows Central European Summer Time (CEST) instead of Central Daylight Time (CDT).
- The device does not allow users to append the domain to a hostname when configuring DHCP Option 66. For example, the device will accept “MyHost” as a host name, but not “MyHost.example.com.”
- When specifying the configuration file for Option 67, the Networking > LAN (Local Network) > Advanced DHCP Configuration page allows only files with a .cfg extension.

- Log into the router’s web user interface.
- Navigate to the firmware upgrade section of your wireless unit.
- Select the present firmware and configure your router to install this file.
- Wait as the device carries out this process.
- Reboot the unit if required.

About Router Firmware:

Before you consider downloading this firmware, go to the system information page of the router and make sure that the currently installed version isn’t either newer or matching this release.

Due to the large variety of router models and different methods for upgrading the device, it is highly recommended that you read and, above all, understand the installation steps before you apply the new firmware, even if you are a power user.

In theory, these steps shouldn’t be much of a hassle for anyone, because manufacturers try to make them as easy as possible, even if they don’t always succeed. Basically, you must upload the new firmware to the router through its administration page and allow it to upgrade.

If you install a new version, you can expect increased security levels, different vulnerability issues to be resolved, improved overall performance and transfer speeds, enhanced compatibility with other devices, added support for newly developed technologies, as well as several other changes.

If you’re looking for certain safety measures, remember that it would be best if you perform the upload using an Ethernet cable rather than a wireless connection, which can be interrupted easily. Also, make sure you don’t power off the router or use its buttons during the installation, if you wish avoid any malfunctions.

If this firmware meets your current needs, get the desired version and apply it to your router unit; if not, check with our website as often as possible so that you don’t miss the update that will improve your device.
