In the instructions it starts "The Outdoor, Wall, EAP225 v3, and later models can be installed via the web interface after disabling FW." - Can I check what FW refers to? I dont want to muck this up.

I think I got an answer here from someone else - Quoting - "I think FW here means "firmware". And it should be after upgrading, rather than disabling. If you look at the actual procedure, it starts with "upgrade firmware to version v5.0.3, which fixes a bug that may cause the EAP to reboot abnormally during firmware upgrading and cause the device to brick"... There's a disabling step, cliclientd stopcs, but what is being disabled here is not the firewall, but certificate verification..."
