Use an SFTP server to upgrade the access point

If someone (usually the network administrator) places new firmware on a secure FTP
(SFTP) server in the network, you can load the firmware from the SFTP server and upgrade
the firmware of the access point.
To upgrade the firmware of the access point from an SFTP server:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
access point or directly to the access point through an Ethernet cable or WiFi
connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
A login window opens.
If your browser does not open the login window but displays a security message
and does not let you proceed, see Log in to the access point after initial setup on
page 41.
3. Enter the access point user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
If you previously added the access point to a NETGEAR Insight network location and
managed the access point through the Insight app or Insight Cloud portal, enter the
Insight network password for that location. For more information, see Connect over
WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight App on an iOS or Android mobile device on page
26).
The Dashboard page displays.
4. Select Management > Maintenance > Upgrade > Firmware Upgrade.
The Firmware Upgrade page displays.
5. From the Upgrade Options menu, select SFTP.
6. Specify the following server settings:
• Firmware File. The name of the access point firmware file on the SFTP server.
• SFTP Server IP. The IP address of the SFTP server on your network.
• User Name. The user name that is required to access the SFTP server.
• Password. The password that is required to access the SFTP server.
