Click Upload or Update to start the firmware upgrade.

Important: Do not unplug the extender or router and do not close the browser while the firmware is uploading and installing.

Wait for the EX3110 to reboot; the Power LED will turn solid when it is ready.
Log back into the dashboard and check the firmware version in the Status or Firmware page to confirm the update.

Test WiFi coverage and speed in the extended areas to ensure performance is stable.
If any issues appear after updating, perform a soft reset and verify the extender’s placement and router WiFi configuration.
