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

• 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
