Upgrading Access Point Firmware
The Access Point operates using firmware, which is a set of factory-installed
software instructions stored in read-only memory (ROM). The Access Point
firmware is in the form of a binary file of the format “wlan_xxx” (where “xxx”
identifies the Access Point firmware version). A copy of this file is stored in the
folder where the Access Point Manager was installed.
To upgrade the Access Point firmware:
1. Download the updated file from the FTP site as instructed by a technical
support technician.
2. Copy the file into the same folder where Access Point Manager is installed.
3. In the Access Point Configuration dialog box, click the Configuration tab.
4. Click Upgrade AP Firmware.
5. In the Confirm dialog box, click OK.
6. In the Open dialog box, go to the folder where Access Point Manager is
installed, click the file named wlan_xxx.bin, where “xxx” represents the
Access Point firmware version, and then click Open.
7. When the file has been loaded and saved, an “Upgrade success” message will
be displayed, and the Access Point will reboot.
If directed to do so by a
technical support technician,
go to the directory where you
saved the firmware upgrade
file that you downloaded
from the website.
