Update Instructions:

By default, all IQ WiFi 6 routers ship from the factory with auto-update enabled and will automatically update to
v2.0.1 in the days following the release. When auto update is enabled, IQ WiFi 6 automatically checks each night
for updated software and, if available, downloads it to local storage. The following night the software update is
automatically applied to the mesh. If this behavior is not desired, auto-update to 2.0.1 can be disabled through
the web admin UI by toggling the “Auto Upgrade” selection and clicking the “Save and Apply” button. If an “Auto
Upgrade” selection has been deselected the update can be achieved by patchtag.

After 2.0.1 is published to upgrade via patchtag, from a web UI enter the gateway address: 192.168.105.1.
Username: admin Password: located on the bottom of each IQ WIFI 6. Proceed to the SYSTEM tab and touch
FIRMWARE UPDATE. Find the Patchtag Update section and enter in the patchtag: iqwifi2.0.1 Next, touch the
Upgrade button. Updates can take as long as 15 minutes and will reboot once complete.
