NOTE: It is recommended that all firmware flashing is done VIA CABLE and not wireless to avoid connection problems and potential bad flashing / bricking of routers.

Web Gui Method
This is only for version 2007 - 0117 and newer.
Connect the Fonera by cable to your router or PC, access the Fonera's web config and follow the below guide.
Preparation
First you will need a fonera-firmware.bin file from your required firmware release. Check here for all releases, click a release date and then click the fonera-firmware.bin file to download it. Known good firmware releases are listed on the main La Fonera index page.
Reset Defaults
Browse to Administration > Factory Defaults
Restore Factory Defaults: Yes
Click Save.
Once connection is restablished, check to make sure all settings are at default. If not, change them to defaults manually if you can, and hold the reset button for around 75 seconds until the WLAN light flashes.
Upgrade Firmware
Browse to Administration > Firmware Upgrade
Click the Browse button to select the required fonera-firmware.bin file.
After flashing, reset to: Don't reset.
Click Upgrade and wait around 8 minutes before doing anything else. Fonera will show "Upgrade successful. Unit is rebooting now. Please wait a moment..." once firmware has finished uploading. Wait until a Continue button appears and click it.
Redboot Method
This is for versions earlier than 2007 - 0117.
DO NOT USE THIS METHOD FOR FLASHING FROM THE DEFAULT LaFonera FIRMWARE: Instead, use the method found here.
Either follow the Inital Flash routine for flashing via Redboot, or use SSH, telnet or serial console to the LaFonera and issue the commands below (this might also work if you do it under the Commands section on the webinterface).
cd /tmp wget <newest version of root.fs> wget <newest version of vmlinux.bin.l7> mtd write vmlinux.bin.l7 vmlinux.bin.l7 mtd write root.fs rootfs reboot
