How do I upgrade TI-Nspire Navigator System Access Point Firmware?

To upgrade the TI-Nspire Navigator Access Point Firmware please follow the steps listed below:

Please Note: Be aware that the upgrade process may clear the wireless cradles/wireless network adapters that have already been added to the system. If this happens you will have to run the [Network Setup Wizard] after upgrading to wireless cradles/wireless network adapters to the network.

1) Launch the TI-Nspire Navigator Teacher software and click [Tools] [Network Manager].

2) When launching Network Manager for the first time the below dialog will be displayed. Select your channel from the drop down list and then click [OK] to continue.
