[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 676697, member: 24098"] Routers are small computers, and like any other computer, they need an operating system and some basic software in order to function. Since routers don't have a hard disk, that software is stored in a chip inside the router and is referred to as "firmware". Most major brands of routers have frequent firmware updates. These updates correct bugs, patch security flaws and sometimes add functionality. Sagem is not a brand I'm familiar with. My guess is that the device serves as both your router and DSL modem. Is that right? [/QUOTE]
