Step 6 After the access point reboots, close yourweb browser and reopen it. Enter 192.168.0.50 to reconnect with theweb configuration. Enter username admin and again leave thepassword blank. Click OK. The firmware upgrade isnow complete.

Step 7 If you have problems with the webconfiguration at this point, unplug the power to the access point,wait 10 seconds, and plug back in. Repeat step 6.
