Upgrading your existing LibraryBox
Upgrading your LibraryBox should be a fast and painless exercise. Follow the steps below to upgrade your existing LibraryBox to the v2.0 release.
- Power off the router
- Unplug the USB Drive from the router, and plug it into your computer
- Download the firmware for your device, most likely for the MR3020 but there are a few brave souls who attempted builds on the MR3040, so that's included just for them:

- Copy the file onto your USB Drive
- Login to the router, and run the commands below, inserting the name of the firmware file where appropriate:
cd /mnt/usb mtd -r write YOUR_FIRMWARE_NAME_HERE firmware - Once the firmware flash finishes, power down the LibraryBox and put the USB back into your computer.
- Download the LibraryBox v2.0 Install folder (as zip file) (MD5 Hash: 59423526AE160107E60265C212904E1E) and unzip it.
- Delete the existing install folder on the USB drive, and copy the newly-unzipped install folder and all its contents onto the root of the USB drive.
- Put the USB back into the router, and power it back up. The install process should now kick off, and in about 10 minutes and a lot of flashing lights, you will have a LibraryBox v2.0 ready to go.
