Having up-to-date firmware on your networking devices is crucial for several reasons. One of the most important is security. Firmware updates often include patches for known vulnerabilities that could be exploited by hackers. By keeping your firmware updated, you protect your network from potential security breaches. Additionally, updates can introduce new security features and protocols, further enhancing the overall security of your network.
  −
  −
Performance is another key reason to keep your firmware current. Updates often contain improvements and optimizations that can make your devices run more efficiently. This can result in faster data transfer speeds, better handling of network traffic, and overall improved performance of your network.
  −
  −
Firmware updates can also fix bugs and other issues that may affect the stability and functionality of your networking devices. These fixes can resolve connectivity problems, compatibility issues with other devices or software, and other operational hiccups that might otherwise disrupt your network's performance.
  −
  −
Finally, new features and capabilities are sometimes added through firmware updates. These can enhance the functionality of your networking devices, offering you new tools and options that can improve your network management and user experience.

When it's time to update the firmware, it's important to know how to do it. There are a few different ways to update the firmware. In this article, we will describe three widely used methods:
 +
 
 +
#Firmware update through the '''WebUI'''
 +
#Firmware update through the '''RMS'''
 +
#Firmware update through the '''command line interface (CLI)'''
 +
 
 +
 
 +
All three methods can be applied to all our manageable networking devices, including '''RUTs, TRBs, and managed switches'''.
 +
 
 +
It's important to note that you have the option to initiate the firmware update by either manually uploading the firmware file or downloading it from the server. If you choose to upload the firmware file manually, you can find all the latest and mass production firmware files [https://wiki.teltonika-networks.com/view/FW_%26_SDK_Downloads '''here''']. It's best to regularly check this page if you want to always have the latest firmware available.

Moreover, you have the option to initiate the firmware update by either manually uploading the firmware file or downloading it from the server. If you choose to upload the firmware file manually, you must know where to download the firmware file. All the latest and mass production firmware files can be found [https://wiki.teltonika-networks.com/view/FW_%26_SDK_Downloads here]. It's best to regularly check this page if you want to always have the latest firmware available. Additionally, each device has its own firmware page, where you can find all the available firmware files specific to that device, along with a changelog that describes details what was added, fixed, or improved in each firmware version. For example, you can find all available firmware versions and the changelog for the RUT956 [https://wiki.teltonika-networks.com/view/RUT956_Firmware_Downloads here].

===Firmware update through WebUI===

===Firmware update through the WebUI===
 
The WebUI is the user-friendly graphical interface of the device. To update the firmware through the WebUI, navigate to the '''System -> Firmware -> Update''' '''Firmware''' page. This page allows you to check the current firmware version of the device and update the firmware either from a local file or directly from the server. If you wish to update the firmware from the server, your RUT, TRB, or TSW device must have internet access. If you choose to manually upload a firmware file, internet access on the router is not required.

If your networking device has internet access, in the firmware update page, in the "firmware available on the server" section, you will be always be able to see which firmware is the newest one.

To start the firmware update, you only need to choose wheter you want to upload firmware file manually or retrieve it from the server, also choose wheter you want to keep all the settings after firmware update or not.

To initiate the firmware update, simply choose whether to upload the firmware file manually or retrieve it from the server. Additionally, select whether you wish to retain all settings after the firmware update.
    
When you upload a firmware image, the device will have to verify the validity of that image. If the verification was successful, you will be redirected to window with a message such as this:

===Firmware update through the RMS===
 +
The Teltonika RMS platform can also be used to update the device's firmware. To update the firmware for device(s) selected from your device table, go to the RMS web page. In the left sidebar panel, navigate to Management → Devices and click on the Devices submenu. Then, move your mouse pointer to the top control Actions menu and select Update firmware (Actions → Update firmware).

 +
 
 +
After clicking the "Update firmware" button, you will be redirected to another page where you can choose to either upload the firmware file manually or download it from the server, similar to the WebUI.
 +

 +
 
 +
During the update process, your device will appear offline in RMS because it will be rebooting. The device may be unreachable for up to 1-2 minutes.
 +
 
 +
===Firmware update through the command line interface===
 +
 
 +
To update the firmware file, you first need to upload the firmware file to your networking device. You can do this using any application designed for this purpose. For example, if you are using a Windows computer, you can use WinSCP. You can download WinSCP from [https://winscp.net/eng/download.php here], launch it, select SCP as the File protocol and login to the networking device (the login process is basically the same as when using PuTTY). Then locate the tmp directory and drag the firmware file inside it (just like you copy/move any other file using Windows).
 +
 
 +
To upload it using the scp command on a Linux computer, follow these steps: Open a Terminal in the directory where the file is located (right-click any blank space in the directory and choose 'Open in Terminal'). Then, enter the following command:
 +
<pre>
 +
scp RUT9M_R_00.07.07.3_WEBUI.bin [email protected]:/tmp/
 +
</pre>
 +
Where:
 +
 
 +
RUT9M_R_00.07.07.3_WEBUI.bin is the firmware file's name. Replace it with your firmware's name.
 +
 
 +
192.168.1.1 is the router's IP address. Replace with your own router's IP.
 +
 
 +
/tmp/ is the directory where the file will be copied to.
 +
These methods do not require your networking device to have internet access; you only need to have the firmware file on your end-device. Once the firmware file is uploaded to your networking device, execute the following command:
 +
 
 +
<pre>
 +
sysupgrade /tmp/RUT9M_R_00.07.07.3_WEBUI.bin
 +
</pre>
 +
sysupgrade is the command used to upgrade the router's firmware.
 +
 
 +
RUT9M_R_00.07.07.3_WEBUI.bin is the firmware file's name. Replace the firmware file's name that you are using.
