How to upgrade the Firmware on a Linksys PAPT2 from a Mac OS X computer

Posted in General, Hardware, Networking by Diggory
  • Get the new firmware from Linksys
  • Start the webserver on the Mac
  • Drop the firmware .bin file into a folder accessible by the web server (e.g. ~/sites/PAP2TFirmware/)
  • Make a URL of the following form:
  • http://{IP Address of your PAPT2 here}/upgrade?http://{IP address of the Mac here}/{Path to the firmware file}

    e.g. for me this would be http://192.168.1.10/upgrade?http://192.168.1.7/~diggory/PAP2TFirmware/pap2t-5-1-6.bin

  • Visit that URL
  • Wait until the status light on the PAP2T stop flashing. It should now have the new firmware
