Hello Folks, Indeed it was a painless procedure. I went to the site that I was given, saw that it said there was a firmware update, clicked the clickable link and waited a few. Again, this is the first time I had to do this which is why I asked but the main reason why I have been all over this is because of the recent developments with my dell latitude and upgrading to windows 8 pro. I updated to windows eight pro, the day it came out, everything is working accept for a couple of things and I am trying to figure out how to resolve the issues. The first issue is I keep dropping internet connection every 10-to-15-minutes only using this dell machine but the other three systems on my network here at home never loses internet. The second issue is the touchpad, I used to be able to press the fn key along with function key five and it would mute and unmute the touchpad but this no longer works. Lol, I should've just stayed at windows 7. I have no idea what is going on here. I'm not saying windows 8 is bad nor anything like that btw. If I knew I was going to have this many issues, why the bother is what I am saying. Dell tells me I needed to contact netgear, others state try upgrading the firmware, which I did and I am still losing connection after a while. Anyways, that's my issue in a nutshell, thanks to all for answering my curious question about the accessibility for updating firmware for a router.

It's not that bad on a Linksys so I doubt it would be any problem on another brand.
