Upgrade the Wireless Access Point Software

The software of the wireless access point is stored in flash memory and can be upgraded as

NETGEAR releases new software. You can download upgrade files from the NETGEAR

website. If the upgrade file is compressed (.zip file), you first must extract the image (.rmt)

file before sending it to the wireless access point. You can send the upgrade file using your

browser. Two methods are available to perform a software upgrade, which are described in

the following sections:

• Web Browser Upgrade Procedure

• TFTP Server Upgrade Procedure

Note: The web browser that you use to upload new firmware into the

wireless access point needs to support HTTP uploads. Use a browser

such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later or Mozilla 1.5 or later.
