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 pressing and holding the MODE button for around 30 seconds. 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.
