1. Open the Management Console of the La La Fonera+.
- How to access the La Foneras management console: Connect to the MyPlace signal, open your browser and type http://192.168.10.1 and the console will be loaded. The standard username and password are admin/admin.
2. Have a look at the actual firmware version. It's shown on the top of the 'Status Page' of Console. 3. Click in the left menu on 'advanced' and then in 'firmware update' . Load the firmware version following your actual one.
1.1.0.1 > 1.1.1.0 > 1.1.1.1 > 1.1.1.2
- For example, if your Fonera+ has 1.1.1.0, load the 'upgrade_1111.fon' file.
4. Start the update. This process can take several minutes. Do not interrupt this. The process has finished once you're able to access the Management Console again.
5. Repeat this process, until you have loaded the latest firmware version.
