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 need to extract the image (.rmt)
file before sending it to the wireless access point. You can send the upgrade file using your
browser. There are two methods to perform a software upgrade that are described in the
following sections:
•Web Browser Upgrade Procedure
•TFTP Server Upgrade Procedure
Note: The web browser that you use to upload new firmware into the
wireless access point needs to support HTTP uploads. Use a
browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later or Mozilla
1.5 or later.
