Manage the firmware of the access point
The access point firmware is stored in flash memory.
You can check to see if new firmware is available and upgrade the access point to the
new firmware. You can also visit the NETGEAR support website, download the firmware
manually to a local computer, and update the access point to the new firmware. If
someone (usually the network administrator) places new firmware on a secure FTP (SFTP)
server in the network, you can load the firmware from the server and upgrade the
firmware of the access point.
The following sections describe the firmware management methods:
• Check for new firmware and upgrade the access point
• Manually download firmware and upgrade the access point
• Revert to the backup firmware
• Use an SFTP server to upgrade the access point
