How to: update your XG Firewall firmware or roll back to a previous version

We’ve created a comprehensive library of “How To” videos, including a series of Getting Started and Networking videos, to help you get the most out of your XG Firewall.

Today, I’d like to share a short Getting Started video that walks you through how to keep your XG Firewall firmware up to date, as well as how to roll back to a previous firmware version if necessary.

In this video, we’ll show you how to:

• Find out when a new firmware update is available
• Navigate to the firmware update screen
• Download and install the firmware update
• Verify the new firmware is applied after reboot
• Download and install the firmware update manually from MySophos
• Restore a previous firmware version

You can watch the entire Getting Started video series on the Sophos Products YouTube channel. And you can check out all the posts in this XG Firewall “How To” series on the Sophos Blog.
