Upgrade Rules:
- If AP is out of box with FW version lower than V1.0.4.1, please follow the Firmware upgrade procedure before upgrading to V1.0.4.9
- Backup configuration file -> Do factory defaults after upgrade -> Clear browser cache -> Access AP GUI using IP address -> Restore the configuration file to avoid configurations getting lost.
- If AP operating with FW V1.0.4.1 already, upgrade to the latest FW. All the configurations will be retained properly after successful upgrade.
Notes:
- The AP’s default IP address is 192.168.0.100.
- From FW V1.0.4.8 and above, by doing factory default DHCP client is enabled by default and the default SSID will be secured with WPA/WPA2-PSK (Default SSID and passphrase is available at the back panel of the AP to connect wireless clients)
- AP can be accessed using the default IP address (192.168.0.100) when AP doesn’t get DHCP client IP address.
- AP can be accessible from wireless clients by giving “aplogin.net” in the browser URL when AP’s IP address is not known after it gets IP address from DHCP server.
- AP can be returned to factory defaults using the reset button at the back of the AP by pressing and holding the button for ~10 secs (Power LED will blink in green from solid green).
- In the following scenarios AP is expected to reboot automatically for the configuration to take effect:
a. Firmware upgrade
b. Reset factory defaults
c. Restore configuration
In all the other conditions AP is not supposed to reboot automatically.
