Thank you for prompt replay. My question is, can I upgrade my router hg552e to hg531 or not?

Hello, friend!

First of all, the HG552e and HG531 are carriers' devices.

The HG552e and HG531 are two different models devices, which differ in hardware and performance. Therefore, the HG552e cannot be upgraded to the HG531 using the firmware.

Thanks!

note

Thank you,
I hope that there is a solution for my case.
