The AP60 features emergency firmware upgrade function that can restore your AP from a

firmware crashed. If you can’t access your AP anymore, please first try to restore the
setting to default by holding the RESET button (in the back) for more than 10 seconds. You

should be able to find the AP at 192.168.100.252. If you can’t find it, then please perform

the emergency upgrade.

AP60’s flash memory is divided into “firmware” and “bootloader” area. The bootloader

area is protected from writing and has a built-in emergency web server. Therefore, the AP

can be recovered from emergency web server after a firmware crash. The emergency

web server is enabled when AP is forced into emergency upgrade mode, it’s IP will be
changed to 192.168.1.6.
