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: through the WebUI, Teltonika RMS, or using the command line. In this article, we will describe all three methods. All three methods can be applied on all of our manageable networking devices, such as 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.

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].
