3.4 System Tools

3.4.1 Firmware Upgrade

You can upgrade the firmware of your 802.11A/G ACCESS POINT (the
software that controls your 802.11A/G ACCESS POINT's operation). Normally,
this is done when a new version of firmware offers new features that you want,
or solves problems that you have encountered with the current version.
System upgrade can be performed through the System Upgrade window as
follows:
Step 1. Select System Tools, then Firmware Upgrade from the menu.
Step 2. To update the 802.11A/G ACCESS POINT firmware, first download
the firmware from the distributor's web site to your local disk, and then
from the above screen enter the path and filename of the firmware file
(or click Browse to locate the firmware file). Next, Click the Upgrade
button to start.
The new firmware will be loaded to your 802.11A/G ACCESS POINT. After a
message appears telling you that the operation is completed, you need to reset
the system to have the new firmware take effect.
It is recommended that you do not upgrade your 802.11A/G ACCESS
POINT unless the new firmware has new features you need or if it has
a fix to a problem that you've encountered.
