Reloading the Access Point Image
If your access point has a firmware failure, you must reload the complete access point image file using
the Web browser interface or by using the MODE button (see
). You can use the browser
interface if the access point firmware is still fully operational and you want to upgrade the firmware
image. However, you can use the MODE button when the access point has a corrupt firmware image.
