+title: "Upgrading Ubiquiti Routers Over SSH"

+
+In the past, I usually check for ubiquiti router firmware updates via [RSS feed](https://community.ubnt.com/ubnt/rss/board?board.id=Blog_EdgeMAX), and to apply them I open a reverse SSH tunnel to the web interface and upload the file over this tunnel.
+This is somewhat inefficient however as you're uploading firmware over a few additional links in a chain that aren't really required.
+
+
+This guide is a simple repurposing of the [following help article](https://help.ubnt.com/hc/en-us/articles/205146110-EdgeRouter-How-to-Upgrade-the-EdgeOS-Firmware#3), albeit somewhat abridged.
+
+To solve this (and speed up the process in general) you can do the full upgrde via SSH.
+
+Firstly, you'll want to SSH into your router:
+```
+ssh username@routerip
+```
+The default username and password are both `ubnt`, but it's highly recommended you change this.
+
+Then check the currently running firmware version via:
+```
+show version
+```
+
+Then upload the image
+```
+add system image https://dl.ubnt.com/firmwares/edgemax/v2.0.x/ER-e100.v2.0.1.5174691.tar
+```
+Verify the firmware is the correct version for the model of router you're using.
+
+Then check the image is installed and will be booted from:
+```
+show system image
+```
+
+Lastly, reboot the router to apply the image:
+```
+reboot
+```
+
+And you're done.
