Learn how to upgrade the uWGB image by converting the device to WGB mode, downloading and installing the new software image, and reverting to uWGB mode.

To upgrade the uWGB software image, first convert the device from uWGB mode to WGB mode, as uWGB mode does not support TFTP or SFTP protocols for image upgrades. Then, download the software image by using either the TFTP or SFTP protocol. After the download, install the software image to complete the upgrade. Finally, revert the device from WGB mode back to uWGB mode.

Procedure

1.

Connect a TFTP or SFTP server to the wired 0 port of the uWGB.

2.

Use the configure Dot11Radio slot_id disable command to disable the radio interface.
