==Summary==
A Bootloader is a program that loads the operating system or some other system software for the router after completion of the power-on self-tests; it is the loader for the operating system itself. The '''Bootloader menu''' is the router's special state that can be achieved before the Bootloader loads up the router's OS. While the router is in this state you can use it to upgrade the router's Firmware, Bootloader version and ART partition. This chapter is guide on how to upgrade a RUTXxx router's Firmware via the '''Bootloader menu'''.
