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:
• Upgrade the Firmware Over a Web Browser
• Upgrade the Firmware Over a TFTP Server
Note: The web browser that you use to upload new firmware into the wireless
access point must support HTTP uploads. Use a browser such as
Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or Google Chrome.
