Wireless router software upgrade method, management device and system

Abstract

The invention relates to a method, a management device and a system for upgrading software of a wireless router. The method comprises the steps of receiving an upgrading management instruction input by a user, establishing communication connection with an upgrading server on the basis of an Internet protocol (IP) address of the upgrading server stored in the upgrading management device, and obtaining version information of the latest version of the software of the router from the upgrading server; comparing the obtained version information of the latest version of the software of the router with existing version information of the router; and upgrading the software of the router when the version information of the latest version of the software of the router is newer than the existing version information of the router. The method, the management device and the system have the advantages that whether the software of the router is required to be updated or not can be judged automatically and is not required to be checked through other methods by users; user operation steps are few and simple, upgrading can be conducted through clicking according to prompts; the operation is flexible, local and far-end server upgrading is supported, and the method, the management device and the system are applicable to factory heavy industry upgrading and brand software online upgrading; and the upgrading efficiency is high, and batched upgrading is supported.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of communication, and more specifically, to a wireless router software upgrading method, management device and system. Background technique [0002] A wireless router is a router with a wireless coverage function, which is mainly used for user Internet access and wireless coverage. A wireless router can be regarded as a repeater, which forwards the broadband network signal connected to the wall of the home to nearby wireless network devices (laptops, mobile phones that support wifi, etc.) through the antenna. [0003] Because there may be some technical obstacles in the early design process of the router software, there are some immature parts of the router, which are commonly referred to as bugs, making the signal unstable and susceptible to interference. Through subsequent software upgrades, these bugs can be corrected, and the functions can be expanded to make the wireless connection more stable ...
