To upgrade to this firmware, do the following:
 
* With the HG612 powered off, connect a cable between the LAN2 port (you may need to remove the "not in use" sticker) and the ethernet port on your computer.
* Configure your computer's ethernet port with the IP address 192.168.1.100 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0.▼

* Hold down the reset button on the back of the HG612 whilst inserting the power cable. Keep the reset button held for about 5-10 seconds after powering up.
* After about 10 seconds you should be able to access the HG612's "Update Software" web page at the address http://192.168.1.1
 
There are two ways you can connect the HG612 to your router and
maintain access the web/telnet interfaces. In both methods, you first
 
In both methods, you first need to connect LAN1 on the HG612 to the "WAN" ethernet interface on
your router. This is the connection over which the router will make
the PPPoE connection.
 
==Access with a second cable over LAN2==
 
In its default configuration, the HG612 has the IP address 192.168.1.1
* Connect a cable between the LAN2 port on the HG612 and your LAN switch (or an unused LAN port on your router).
* You should now be able to access the HG612 from any device on your LAN by visiting http://192.168.1.2
 
**A more elegant solution is to enable access to the HG612 over the existing connection between LAN1 and the WAN port on your router. This is done as follows:▼

This is done as follows:
 
* In your router, configure the WAN interface with a private (RFC1918) address in a different subnet to your main LAN. e.g. if your main LAN is 192.168.1.0/24 then configure the WAN interface with the address 192.168.2.1/24
* Change the HG612's IP address (under "Basic -> "LAN" in the web interface) to be any address in that second subnet - e.g. 192.168.2.2/24
* Under "Basic -> WAN" on the HG612, ensure both "Port binding:" checkboxes are unticked and press the Submit button to save the change. This step enables LAN access via LAN1.
change. This step enables LAN access via LAN1.
* At this point, your router knows where to send packets from devices on your main LAN to the HG612, but the HG612 doesn't know where to route responses (it can't be configured to have a default route via your router).

* Add a static route ("Advanced -> Routing" in the HG612's web interface) from the HG612 back to your main LAN. e.g. if your LAN is 192.168.1.0/24 and the router's WAN interface is 192.168.2.1 then you would create the following route:
Destination network address: 192.168.1.0 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Default gateway: 192.168.2.1 (remember to also tick the checkbox) Interface: LAN/br0▼

You should now be able to access the HG612's web and telnet interfaces from any device on your LAN, over the WAN/LAN1 cable. Note that access (with the new IP address) remains possible over LAN2.
