Only one firmware can be activated for APs of the same model on the AC. If firmware A is activated for an AP, firmware B for the same model cannot be activated. To activate firmware B, you must first deactivate firmware A.
Currently, there is no button to deactivate a firmware in the web UI of the AC. To activate a new firmware, you must first delete the activated firmware. The steps are as follows:

• (1) Delete the activatedfirmware for APs of the same model.

• (2) Activate the new firmware.
