Bulk Update Araknis Wi-Fi 6 APs Faster with OvrC

Managing firmware updates across multiple access points just got a whole lot easier.

With the new Bulk Firmware Update feature in OvrC’s Wi-Fi Management tool, you can update all your Araknis Wi-Fi 6 APs simultaneously, right from your browser. This saves time during installs and makes managing larger jobs much more efficient.
