•
Connect to the same network that the AP is connected to.
2.
Launch a web browser and enter http://www.aplogin.net (or aplogin.net) in the
address field.
Instead, if you are connected to same network as the AP, enter the LAN IP address
that is assigned to the AP. For information about finding the IP address, see Find the
IP address of the AP when you cannot use aplogin.net on page 24.
A login window displays.

To download and install the new firmware, click the Yes button.
The AP locates the firmware, downloads it, and begins the update.
WARNING: To avoid the risk of corrupting the firmware, do not interrupt the update.
For example, do not close the browser, click a link, or load a new page. Do not turn
off the AP. Wait until the AP finishes restarting and the Power LED remains solid
green.
A progress bar shows the progress of the firmware upload process. The firmware
upload process takes several minutes. When the upload is complete, your AP restarts.
