How to Check Your Current Firmware Version

Before updating, verify your current state:

1. Connect to your router (default IP: 192.168.1.1).
2. Login (default username: admin, password: admin or blank).
3. Go to Status → Device Info or System → Firmware Update.
4. Look for "Firmware Version" and "Hardware Version: C1".

If your hardware version is NOT listed as C1, stop here. Do not proceed.

1. Identify Your Exact Device Version

Before downloading any firmware, verify:

• Hardware Version – Look on the bottom sticker: H/W Ver: C1
• Firmware Version – Log into the router (192.168.1.1) → Status → Device Info.
• Region/Variant – This model exists as: IN (India), RU (Russia), MTS, TATACOMM, etc. Firmware is not interchangeable between variants.

⚠️ Using the wrong firmware (e.g., Indian firmware on Russian hardware) will brick the device.
