20.3 Firmware Upgrade

There are two ways to upgrade firmware to the ZyAIR: manually or scheduled.

To manually upgrade the firmware, you have to download the latest firmware first from www.zyxel.com and then upload it to the ZyAIR.

With scheduled firmware upgraded, you need to set up a TFTP server where the ZyAIR can automatically download the latest firmware at the specified time.
