Insight Managed Smart Cloud Wireless Access Point AC3000 WAC540 User Manual To check for new firmware and upgrade your access point: 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 40. 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 25). The Dashboard page displays. 4. Click the Check for Upgrade button. The access point detects new firmware if any is available and displays a message asking if you want to download and install it. 5. To download and install the new firmware, follow the prompts and dialog boxes. The access point locates the firmware, downloads it, and begins the upgrade. WARNING: To avoid the risk of corrupting the firmware, do not interrupt the upgrade. For example, do not close the browser, click a link, or load a new page. Do not turn off the access point. Wait until the access point finishes restarting and the Power/Cloud LED remains solid green. The firmware upgrade process takes several minutes. When the upgrade is complete, your access point restarts. 6. Verify that the access point runs the new firmware version by logging back in to the access point. The firmware version is stated on the Dashboard page. 7. Read the new firmware release notes to determine whether you must reconfigure the access point after upgrading.
