Firmware updates

Firmware updates are improvements or fixes made to the small, essential software that controls a device’s hardware, like a smartphone, printer, or router. Think of firmware as the device’s operating instructions stored in its memory. Updating it ensures the device runs smoothly, fixes bugs, adds new features, and enhances security. These updates are usually released by the manufacturer and can be installed via software or network connections. Keeping firmware up-to-date helps maintain optimal performance and protects against vulnerabilities, much like updating an app or operating system on your phone.
