Upgrading the firmware

As new versions of the Gateway 7001 Series self-managed AP firmware become available, you can upgrade the firmware on your access points to take advantages of new features and enhancements.

Important You must do this for each access point. You cannot upgrade firmware automatically across the cluster.

Keep in mind that a successful firmware upgrade restores the access point configuration to the factory defaults. (See “Default settings and supported administrator/client platforms” on page 5.)

To upgrade the firmware on a particular access point:

1 Select the access point to upgrade from the Administration Web page, then click Advanced > Upgrade. The Upgrade firmware page for the chosen access point opens.

2 If you know the path to the new firmware image file, type it in the textbox. Otherwise, click Browse and locate the firmware image file.

3 Click Update to apply the new firmware image.
