1. Navigate to Advanced menu’s
Upgrade
tab on the Web User Interface for that access point.
Caution
Do not upgrade the firmware from a wireless client that is associated with the access point you are
upgrading. Doing so will cause the upgrade to fail. Furthermore, all wireless clients will be disassoci-
ated and no new associations will be allowed.
If you are reading this section because you already tried to upgrade the firmware through a wireless
client, use a wired client to regain access to the access point as follows:
•
Create a wired Ethernet connection from a PC to the access point.
•
Open the Web User Interface.
Repeat the upgrade process using with the wired client.
Caution
The upgrade process may take several minutes during which time the access point will be unavailable.
Do not power down the access point while the upgrade is in process. When the upgrade is complete,
the access point will restart and resume normal operation.
Note
You must upgrade firmware for each access point; you cannot upgrade firmware automatically across
the cluster.
