My Tenda wireless router problem: I have a Tenda router at home and it was working fine for almost a year, but recently I have started getting dropped connections and restricted internet connection for the most part. Someone told me I need to upgrade the driver and Firmware. Please help if anyone knows how to do that?

Router Drivers are software program written over the hardware to maintain the proper functioning of the routers. These routers are vulnerable to getting corrupted and malfunction over a period of time and in certain cases expires.
