To update KeeneticOS to the latest available version, the router must be connected to the Internet.
Launch the application. On the Sites screen, select the network to which you want to connect.
Make sure that your router is accessible and available for operation. If an update is available, an ! icon appears near the number of the currently installed version. Tap on the router name to go to its settings.
Click on the version number to go to the KeeneticOS screen. You can also access this screen by clicking on the Management menu and then KeeneticOS.
The current version, update channel and update availability status will be specified on the KeeneticOS screen. If an update is available, click the Install the update button.
If necessary, you can manually change the update channel of KeeneticOS (for example, to install a preview or dev build). To do so, tap on the update channel name and select the required one.
There are
three update channelsavailable:Main channel (Recommended): Updates in this channel have been fully tested and are recommended for all users. It's updated roughly every two months.
Preview channel: Select the Preview channel to be among the first to try the latest updates, performance improvements and new features with minimal risk. Preview versions are published twice a month.
Dev channel: The Dev channel is updated weekly and shows our community what we are working on right now. Dev builds may be less polished.

The router will reboot during the operating system update. As a result, the connection to the router will be lost for a few minutes but will be restored after the device is rebooted.
Wait for Keenetic to boot. In a
few minutes, it will be available for management from the application again. Go to its settings.
On the settings page, you will see the current version of the KeeneticOS. Make sure the router's operating system is updated to the latest version. Go to the KeeneticOS screen and ensure that there are no updates and that the device has the latest version of the operating system installed.
If you do not want to check and install updates yourself, we recommend that you enable the Automatic updates option. In this case, the latest version of KeeneticOS will always be installed on your router.
More information can be found in the KeeneticOS Aggiornamenti automatici article.
You can create a schedule for this function to automatically update the operating system. In this case, the auto-update will occur at the specified time.
