Thank you for your email 10/10/2012 regarding the issue on your Internet 
connection.

First, I would like to extend my apologies for any inconvenience that this 
issue had caused you.

Unfortunately, firmware update file is only compatible with a Windows computer. 

You can only update the 3G21 modem by using downloading the file to a Windows 
Computer, connect the modem to the Windows Computer using an ethernet cable. 
Lastly run the file from the Windows computer to your modem.
