speeds up to 22Mbps.

With the realese of a new the new v2.5 firmware for this device comes the latest 
realese of the D-Link AirPlus Access Point Manager.  With this tool you can upgrade 
the firmware of an access point without being prompted for a password.

Affected Services
------------------
Dlink V2.2 V2.3 or earlier

Impact
-------
After upgrading the firmware on the DWL-900AP+, the access point returns to factory 
default settings.  The outcomes of this are obvious.

Details
--------
You must have installed the D-Link AirPlus Access Point Manager program which is 
included in the v2.5 firmware update.  Once the program is launched click on the 
firmware upgrade setting.  There are two panes on this window.  The bottom pane being 
"Aveliable AP".  I found these to be AP's running the v2.5 firmware.  The top pane 
"Upgrage AP" displays a list of access points which you can upgrade.  You simply 
highlight the one you wish to upgrade, you must then browse and find the firmware you 
want to upgrade and click the upgrade button.  It will not prompt you for any 
passwords and will simply tftp the new firmware onto the access point.  Once the 
firmware has been uploaded the access point resets and returns back to factory default 
settings.
