Upgrade or Change Firmware on a Controller-Managed Access Point In most situations, the wireless controller automatically upgrades the firmware on a controller-managed access point. Situations exist in which you must manually upgrade or change the firmware on a controller-managed access point. One such situation is when you want to change a controller-managed access point to a standalone firmware version and use the access point in standalone mode. To upgrade or change the firmware on a controller-managed access point: 1. Download the desired software file from the NETGEAR website and save it to a computer that is connected to the same network as the controller-managed access point. 2. If necessary, unzip the new software file. 3. If available, read the release notes before upgrading the software. 4. Find the IP address of the access point on your network.
