Manage the firmware of the access point

The access point firmware is stored in flash memory.
You can check to see if new firmware is available and update the access point to the
new firmware. You can also visit the NETGEAR support website, download the firmware
manually to a local computer, and update the access point to the new firmware. 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 server and update the firmware
of the access point.
Depending on how you are connected to the access point, we recommend the following
firmware update methods:
• WiFi connection: If you are connected over WiFi to the access point, let the access
point check the Internet to see if new firmware is available. See Let the access point
check for new firmware and update the firmware on page 145.
With this method, if new firmware is available, it is downloaded directly to the access
point.
