firmware crashed. If you can’t access your AP anymore, please first try to restore the
setting to default by holding the RESET button (in the back) for more than 7 seconds. You
should be able to find the AP at 192.168.1.254. If you can’t find it, then please perform the
emergency upgrade. The Emergency Upgrade requires special G.DUO firmware,
please visit www.airlive.com->support->download and type “G.DUO” to the download page.

G.DUO’s flash memory is divided into “firmware” and “bootloader” area. The bootloader
area is protected from writing and has a built-in emergency web server. Therefore, the AP
can be recovered from emergency web server after a firmware crash. The emergency
web server is enabled when AP is forced into emergency upgrade mode, it’s IP will be
changed to 192.168.1.6.
