| 12 | +## Introduction |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +This tutorial will show you how to update the firmware of your **WisGate Edge** gateway. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +## Goals |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +The goals of this article are: |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +- Download the latest Firmware version. |
| 21 | +- Connect to the Gateway |
| 22 | +- Open the dashboard panel |
| 23 | +- Upload the new version |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +## Hardware & Software Needed |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +- [WisGate Edge Pro or WisGate Edge Lite 2](https://store.arduino.cc/pages/wisgate-lora-gateways) |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +## Requirements |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +We assume that you already connected the gateway to your local network, and you can connect to it using your favourite method. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +You can check out the needed steps on the [Getting Started tutorial](./getting-started). |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +## Instructions |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +### Download the Latest Firmware Version |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +Go to your gateway's([WisGate Edge Lite 2](../../hardware/wisgate-edge-lite-2#essentials) or [WisGate Edge Pro](../../hardware/wisgate-edge-pro#essentials)) Arduino Docs Product Page. On the page go to the Essentials section and click the **Latest Firmware Version** link. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +You will get a zip file called `WisGateOS_<version>_ARDUINO_RAK.zip`. Unzip it and you will have the required firmware files. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +### Connect to the WisGate Dashboard |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +There are different ways to access the WisGate (default values): |
| 48 | +* Connecting to its Wi-Fi Access Point (dashboard IP: `192.168.230.1`) |
| 49 | +* Ethernet cable from your Computer to the Gateway (dashboard IP: `192.168.230.1`) |
| 50 | +* Connecting your Gateway to your LAN, getting its DHCP IP (You will need to discover the device's IP) |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +### Upload the Firmware |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +On the WisGate Dashboard, open the Settings page and click on the "Firmware" tab. |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +Now drag and drop or open the browse file option to select the firmware file downloaded in the previous step, it is the file with the `.bin.rwi` format, as you can see in the screenshot we uploaded the file called `WisGateOS_2.0.1_ARDUINO_b30_RAK636.bin.rwi` |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +### Flash the Firmware |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +Click update and you will flash the gateway with the new firmware version. |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +***To not erase the settings remember to check the box "Keep settings after updating"*** |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +After flashing the new firmware the gateway will reboot itself, it may be unavailable for some minutes. |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +## Next Step |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +Make sure to check periodically if your device is up-to-date to avoid bugs and security issues. |
