15.4.3 Upgrade firmware
The firmware is stored in the flash memory and can be updated with new versions to include new features or to
modify the existing one. This AP has two partitions. The firmware version is always uploaded in the alternate
partition to keep the current firmware image restored which is located in the current partition of access point. When
we upgrade new firmware, the existing firmware will become backup firmware. If any issues found in new
firmware, the backup firmware will be booted.
Save the software file in system drive of your laptop or system. Refer the image below:
