Revert to the backup firmware
After you upgrade the access point to new firmware, the old firmware is saved as backup
firmware so that you can revert to it.
IMPORTANT: When you revert to the backup firmware and the backup firmware is an
earlier version than the firmware version that is running on the access point, the
configuration of the access point is reset (cleared) with the exception of the IP address,
access point name, and password for the local browser UI. The access point restarts
and broadcasts SSID Netgearxxxxxx, in which xxxxxx represents the last six hexadecimal
digits of the access point’s MAC address. The MAC address is listed on the product
label. The default WiFi passphrase is sharedsecret.
To revert to the backup firmware on the access point:
1.
Launch 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 displays.
If your browser does not display 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 46.
3. Enter the access point user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified. 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 page 31.
The Dashboard page displays.
4. Select Management > Maintenance > Upgrade > Firmware Upgrade.
The Firmware Upgrade page displays. The page shows both the current firmware
version and the backup firmware version.
5. Click the Boot up Backup Firmware button.
A warning pop-up window displays.
