    Abstract: A method of updating firmware of a router and a terminal node in a multi hop-based IoT wireless network system including an access point, routers, and terminal nodes, the access point, the router, and the terminal node each functioning as an OTA master in the case of a parent node, and functioning as an OTA slave in the case of a child node, the method including: determining whether the OTA master is ready to download firmware of the OTA slaves connected to the OTA master;
    downloading firmware data to the OTA slave that is ready to download the firmware in units of blocks; determining firmware data blocks that need to be resent, to resend and download the firmware data blocks to the OTA slave; and when the OTA master determines that resending the firmware data blocks is completed, determining that firmware download of all the OTA slaves is completed.
