Abstract
An apparatus and method for upgrading firmware on an internet sharing device. The apparatus includes a memory that stores information for getting access to a firmware server, a lookup part that gets access to the firmware server and looks up a new version of firmware using the information stored in the memory, and an upgrade notice part that gives notice of firmware upgrade to at least one terminal interworking with the internet sharing device when the new version of firmware is looked up. Thus, since the internet sharing device looks up a new version of firmware, and then automatically gives notice of a need for firmware upgrade to a user, the user can easily recognize whether or not the firmware upgrade is needed, and easily upgrade the firmware with no need to check a kind of the internet sharing device, a version of firmware, location of the firmware server, and the like.
