Upgrade the Firmware of Ensemble Members From a Downloaded Image
You can upgrade the firmware on all access points in an ensemble from the master access
point. If you do not use a TFTP server, download the firmware to a computer and upload it to
the master access point. Then, from the master access point, initiate the firmware for all or
selected access points in the ensemble, including, if you want, the master access point.
 To upgrade firmware of ensemble members from a downloaded image:
1. Download the new software file from the NETGEAR website and save it to your hard
disk.
2. If necessary, unzip the new software file.
3. If available, read the release notes before upgrading the software.
4. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the access
point or to the access point directly through an Ethernet cable.
For more information, see Log In to the Access Point on page 15.
5. In the address bar, enter the IP address of the access point.
A login window opens.
6. Enter the user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
7. Select Maintenance > Ensemble Upgrade > Firmware Upgrade.
