• Chipset: Typically runs on a Broadcom or Realtek SDK, depending on the hardware revision.

Method 1: Web Interface Update (Standard)

1. Connect your computer to LAN port 1 of the SR120-A.
2. Assign a static IP to your computer: 192.168.1.10 / Subnet 255.255.255.0 / Gateway 192.168.1.1.
3. Login to http://192.168.1.1 (default credentials: admin / admin or user / user – check your ISP sticker).
4. Navigate to Advanced > Administration > Firmware Upgrade.
5. Click Choose File and select the .bin firmware file.
6. Click Upgrade. Do not refresh the page.
7. Wait 5–7 minutes. The router will reboot multiple times.
8. After reboot, perform another factory reset (this clears old NVRAM variables).

• Confirm exact model + hardware revision on device label.
• Get official firmware matched to that revision.
• Backup/export current configuration.
• Note PPPoE/VLAN/Wi‑Fi credentials.
• Read release notes and ensure the update addresses your needs.
• Ensure stable power and uninterrupted network during upgrade.
• Have recovery plan (ISP support contact, TFTP/serial instructions) if upgrade fails.
