Abstract
A method and apparatus for updating software, usually a web browser, associated with customer premises equipment (CPE), includes sending a request to resources external to the CPE for update data to update the software, decoupling the CPE from the external resources so that the software can be updated without interfering with other functions of the CPE during updating of the software, and updating the software as the CPE is decoupled from the external resources and recoupling the CPE to the external resources after updating of the software is completed.
