Now you can enter the Bootloader menu. Open your web browser and enter your router's IP address into the URl field and add /index.html at the end (192.168.1.1/index.html). This may not work if have connected to the router's WebUI at least once before, since the URL's path may be cached. To solve this problem you can clear the browser's cache or, more simply, open the browser in a mode that doesn't cache browsing information. On '''Google Chrome''' it's called '''Incognito''' and can be reached by pressing '''ctrl+shift+n'''; on '''Mozilla Firefox''' it's called '''Private Browsing''' and can be reached by pressing '''ctrl+shift+p'''; on '''Microsoft Edge''' and '''Internet Explorer''' it's '''InPrivate''', can be reached by pressing '''ctrl+shift+p'''.

'''NOTE:''' There a two different version of bootloader available on the devices. The old and the new version. The old bootloader version only supports legacy firmware version, while the new bootloader version only support the RUTOS 7 and above firmware versions.
To tell which bootloader version your device has, you would need to look and compare the WebUI interfaces.
This is the way that the '''OLD''' bootloader WebUI looks like which supports only [[RUT240 Firmware Downloads (legacy WebUI)|legacy]] firmware versions:

This is the way that the '''NEW''' bootloader WebUI looks like which supports only [[RUT240 Firmware Downloads|RUTOS7]] and above firmware versions:

To start the firmware update process upload the appropriate Firmware image and click the '''Update firmware''' button.
After starting to upload the firmware, you should be greeted with a window such as this:
This means that the upgrade has started and you can close the browser window. The update itself takes a few seconds but the router will restart afterwards. The entire process before the router becomes reachable again will take 2-3 minutes.

You can also update the router's Bootloader this way if needed. Instead of '''/index.html''', the path for Bootloader is '''/uboot.html'''. You will find a guide on how to upgrade your Bootloader to a newer version '''[[RUT2xx Bootloader_Upgrade|here]]'''
