Abstract

Examples of upgrading a plurality of access points (APs) are described. In an example, responsive to a firmware upgrade being initiated, the plurality of APs having an identical AP type are grouped into a plurality of subsets. A primary seed AP is identified corresponding to each of the plurality of subsets, based on a resource availability of each of the plurality of APs. The primary seed AP is to download a firmware upgrade image from a remote server. Each of the plurality of APs except the primary seed AP is categorized as a non-seed AP. The non-seed AP is to download the firmware upgrade image from the primary seed AP. A network address of the remote server is sent to the primary seed AP for downloading the firmware upgrade image.
