Reference Manual for the NETGEAR ProSafe Wireless Access Point 802.11g WG302
4-10 Management
July 2005 v3.0
Upgrading the Wireless Access Point Software
.
You cannot perform the firmware upgrade from a workstation connected to the WG302 via a
wireless link. The firmware upgrade must be performed via a workstation connected to the
WG302 via the Ethernet LAN interface.
The software of the WG302 Access Point is stored in FLASH memory, and can be upgraded as
new software is released by NETGEAR. Upgrade files can be downloaded from Neaters Web site.
If the upgrade file is compressed (.ZIP file), you must first extract the image (.RMG) file before
sending it to the wireless access point. The upgrade file can be sent using your browser.
Note: The Web browser used to upload new firmware into the WG302 must support HTTP
uploads, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or above, or Netscape Navigator 4.78 or above.
1. Download the new software file from NETGEAR, save it to your hard disk, and unzip it.
2. From the main menu Management section, click the Upgrade Firmware link to display the
screen above.
3. In the Upgrade Firmware menu, click the Browse button and browse to the location of the
image (.RMG) upgrade file.
4. Click Upload.
When the upload completes, your wireless access point will automatically restart. The upgrade
process typically takes about one minute.
In some cases, you may need to reconfigure the wireless access point after upgrading.
Note: When uploading software to the WG302 Access Point, it is important not to
interrupt the Web browser by closing the window, clicking a link, or loading a new page.
If the browser is interrupted, the upload may fail, corrupt the software, and render the
WG302 completely inoperable.
