In the factory supplied firmware the option is removed (probably for legal reasons) therefore the first thing to do is upgrade the firmware, this will give you back all your options.

Are you saying that you don't have the option to upgrade the firmware by USB?

Menu > Tools > upgrade by USB > Upgrade mode = Image file (*.abs). Next to Upgrade File you should see the firmware that you have downloaded to your USB memory stick.

I know that Libertview firmware doesn't always have the "Network Local Settings" option, but to remove the option to upgrade the image by USB is crazy. What's the reason? This is the first I have heard of this.

If you go to menu > tools > information, what is your software version?
