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 the CLI. 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 must use the CLI on
the serial console port when the access point has a corrupt firmware image.

You can also use the Web browser interface to reload the access point image file. The Web browser
interface supports loading the image file using HTTP or TFTP interfaces.
Note
You should not attempt the upgrade process over a wireless link.
