I have my router mAx W161 bricked. Where can I download firmware for the router?

Best answer by SURFboard Moderator

I suggest resetting the main router and start over the app setup process again.

On the network optimization step, I suggest waiting on the same screen until completed.

Since you mentioned that your W161 device is bricked do you see the LED light on the front of the router, what color the light is?

have you done with basic trouble shooting like power cycling modem and router?

There is no option to download the firmware for the router that will be pushed automatically while setting the router on the surfboard central app.

Please make sure that the satellite should be powered off while trying to setup the main router.
