: If available, ensure "Auto-check New Version" is enabled to let the router handle updates automatically. 2. Manual Firmware Update Process
There is a reason firmware updates are approached with a mix of excitement and trepidation. The process of flashing a "top" or custom firmware—especially on a V10 model—carries the risk of "bricking" the device. If the power fails or the file is corrupted, the router becomes an expensive paperweight. Furthermore, shifting away from ISP firmware can sometimes lead to a loss of specific services, such as IPTV or digital landlines, which rely on proprietary configurations baked into the provider's software. Conclusion
Since this model is officially "End of Service," you will not find "top" or "latest" official firmware updates released after 2022. ZTE recommends that users migrate to newer substitutes to ensure continued security and high-level service. How to Check and Update Your Firmware
