2. FIRMWARE INSTALLATION
Requirements:
- Realtek RTL 8186 based equipment
- Minimum 16MB RAM and 2MB Flash
Notes about the Tx Power Control:
The Tx power control setting only applies to 802.11b mode.
The Router has the power limited to 250mw by HARDWARE.
THE HIGHEST POWER MAY NOT BE THE IDEAL SETTING FOR ALL APPLICATIONS. TEST
DIFFERENT SETTINGS TO FIND THE BEST ADJUSTMENT FOR YOUR SPECIFIC
APPLICATION.
2.1 FIRMWARE INSTALLATION VIA WEB INTERFACE
1. Save the firmware file (ROUTERPRO_vx_x_xmodx.bin) and the license file (.dat) in your local disk.
2. Follow your original router instructions to connect to the device using the web interface and look for
the “Upgrade Firmware” or “Update Firmware” option.
3. Browse for the " Router PRO - xxx - Vyyy.bin", and upload it (xxx and yyy indicate the customization
and version)
4. Wait for the update process to complete. It may take about one minute after the file is uploaded
5. After the update process finishes, the device IP will be reset to 192.168.2.1. You will need to set
your PC's address to an IP in the same subnet, for example, 192.168.2.10 in the Windows Control
Panel -> Network Connections -> Local Area Connection -> Properties -> Internet Protocol (TCP/IP):
(take note of your original configuration so you can restore it later)

6. Access the router by typing the address http://192.168.2.1 in your browser. If you cannot access the
device, try cleaning the ARP table, by running the command "arp -d" with Start, Run, then try again:
7. Once in the web interface of the new firmware SQ ROUTER PRO, select to the License menu
option, and check if the MAC address matches the name of the .dat file with the license to be
uploaded.
8. Select the .dat license file and upload it. Wait for 2 minutes for the process to complete (the router
will reboot). Your device will then be ready to be configured.
2.2 FIRMWARE INSTALLATION BY TFTP
The TFTP installation method can be used if it is not possible to access the web interface, or if it is not
possible to upload the firmware through the web interface.
1. If you don't have a TFTP client program, download and install one. There are several free options
available on the web. The procedure below uses the free TFTP client available at:
http://www.weirdsolutions.com/weirdSolutions/files/products/desktopSoftware/desktopTftpClient/tftpc_free.exe
2. Configure your PC's IP address to 192.168.1.10
3. Connect the AWOS to the network using one of the 4 LAN ports

4. Turn the device off, hold the reset button pressed, and turn the device back on. Wait for 5 seconds
before releasing the reset button.
5. The AWOS will be in TFTP mode, with IP 192.168.1.6, awaiting for the firmware upload
6. Run the TFTP Client, with the setting: TFTP server = 192.168.1.6, Operation = Upload, and Format
= Binary.
7. Select the .bin firmware file for upload, and click "Upload":
8. After the upload finishes, wait for 1 minute for the device to reboot, and access it again from the web
interface (remember that with the SQ Router Pro firmware, the default IP address will be
192.168.2.1, so you will need to change your PC IP address to 192.168.2.10 to access it)
9. Once in the web interface, access the License menu option and upload the license .dat file.
