Firmware updates

Firmware updates are pushed out automatically when available. They can't be manually requested.
They're sent out in phases over a few weeks, so not all users get the update at the same time.
Updates happen between 1 am and 3 am PST; make sure your gateway is turned on during this time to get the update.
Do not restart the gateway when it’s updating. The gateway will automatically restart once the update is complete.

To check firmware version...
