Do Not Power Off: Never turn off the router during a firmware flash, as this can "brick" the device (making it permanently unusable).
Use Ethernet: For the most stable connection during an update, use a wired Ethernet cable instead of Wi-Fi.
Backup Settings: It is recommended to back up your current configuration before updating in case the router resets to factory defaults.
Reset if Necessary: If the router becomes unresponsive after an update, you can perform a factory reset by holding the Reset button for 10 seconds. Fiberhome SR120-A Smart Router Specs | PDF - Scribd
