+//With Netgear stock firmware installed//
+If you have a Netgear R-series router with original Netgear firmware installed, you must first flash your router with one of the "Netgear R-series initial" files. Once you have an R-series initial build file installed, you can then upgrade FreshTomato to newer versions using regular build files for that model. The initial zip files contain firmware with a .crt file extension that the original Netgear firmware can use to install FreshTomato.

+//With FreshTomato installed//
+If you already have some version of FreshTomato installed, you can upgrade to newer releases using regular build files. These will contain firmware files ending with the .trx file extension.
