firmware updates
Embedded code refreshes
Firmware updates are software patches that modify the low-level programming embedded in hardware devices.
Unlike regular software updates, firmware controls basic device functions—how a router manages network traffic, how a printer communicates with computers, how a thermostat regulates temperature.
My router prompted me to install a firmware update.
These updates fix bugs, patch security vulnerabilities, or add features, and typically require restarting the device.
