- Buy http://www.amazon.de/dp/B004YIT2ZI (or some equivalent Router)

- Open your Router and power on - Connect wired or wireless (use information provided with your router) - Go directly to your routers Webinterface (one of 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.178.1) and search for sth like "System -> Firmware Upgrade" (There is no need to change any of the configuration)
