The firmware on the router is what runs it and the interface that allows you to control the features of the router. Most router manufacturers give the user the option to upgrade the firmware. Before you buy a router, ensure the router of your choice has third-party firmware support.

This way you can download and install more advanced firmware by devel¬opment groups on the Internet. Ensure that the firmware upgrade can be done through the wired network interface itself. Some routers may need you to use a USB port on the router to connect to a PC when flashing firmware.
