System Updates
Our update process has changed, please follow the steps carefully.
To update your TI-Nspire or TI-Nspire CX Navigator System, you will do a series of three steps detailed below that include updating your software, access point and handhelds. With the latest version of TI-Nspire technology, we improved connectivity between handheld and access point; therefore, it is important that you follow the steps carefully. If you have questions or issues, please contact TI-CARES at 1.800.842.2737.

To facilitate the update process, we recommend that you print these instructions and set aside about one hour to complete the update process. Time varies depending on network speed and current handheld OS version.
1. Update Software - Watch Video
Download and save the software to a location that you can find easily.

Install the software by double-clicking the icon on your computer.

2. Update Your Access Point - Watch Video
Open your TI-Nspire Navigator Teacher Software and connect your access point, go to Tools > Network Manager.
If you are prompted to update the firmware on your access point, click Upgrade Now and follow prompts. After Firmware Upgrade is complete, the access point should reconnect to Network Manager. If it does not reconnect, click Actions > Check Access Point.
Rename the network by clicking Change Network Name in the navigator pane of the Network Manager and complete dialog. Use a unique name that students will be able to identify (e.g. Room 1A).
The TI-Nspire CX Wireless Network Adapters or TI-Nspire Navigator Cradles should be listed as wireless clients in the Network Manager.

a )
If you do not see any adapters and/or cradles listed, you will be prompted to set up a Navigator Network. Close the prompt. Now, you will need to manually add the adapter and/or cradles. Click on Manually Add wireless client(s) and follow prompts. When all wireless client IDs are entered, click Finish.

b )
If you have adapters and/or cradles listed, confirm the adapters and/or cradles are those in your classroom by matching the wireless client ID in Network Manager to the IDs on the top of the adapter or the back of the cradle. If you have wireless client IDs listed in Network Manager that are not in your classroom, select the wireless adapters and/or cradles that you want to remove from the network. Click Actions > Removed Selected, then Remove at the prompt.
When all wireless client IDs are entered or confirmed, click Refresh until all wireless client IDS show connected. If it takes more than 3 minutes to connect wireless client IDs, please check OS and follow these directions:
