3.3 Firmware Restoration

The Firmware Restoration utility is an emergency rescue tool that can

automatically search out an ASUS 802.11g AP that has failed during a

firmware upload and re-upload a firmware that you specify. A failed firmware

upgrade will cause the ASUS 802.11g AP to enter a failure mode, waiting

for the Firmware Restoration utility to find and upload a new firmware. The

process takes about 3 to 4 minutes.

Note: This is not a firmware upgrade utility and cannot be used on a

working ASUS 802.11g AP . Normal firmware upgrades must be done

through the web manager.

Using a Hub

If you have problems uploading a firmware while using a network hub, try

connecting your computer directly to the LAN port. Either 10Base-T or

100Base-TX connections can be used.

The Firmware Restoration utility is

launched from the Windows Start menu.
