How To Flash

Read the Firmware FAQ and Broadcom forum build threads before upgrading!

  1. Use GUI or TFTP flash with a wired connection. Disable wireless to be safe.
  2. DO NOT 30/30/30 HARD RESET this model as this could brick your router. See the Peacock Announcement Note 1.

    • Wait 5 minutes for the router to reboot
    • If no response, unplug the router for 10 seconds then plug it back in
  5. Access the GUI to set a password
