NWA-1123-AC-HD: OK to upgrade 5.46 directly to 6.00?

Homelab

The NWA-1123-AC-AP access points I bought came with firmware 5.46.  It seems that the latest version is 6.00.

Is it OK for me to upgrade directly to 6.00?  If not how should I proceed?

Any special instructions?  The release notes had no great details.  Thanks!

Hi @Homelab,

Welcome to ZYXEL Community.

Here is our suggest steps to upgrade the AP firmware.
1. Copy your current configuration to avoid if there is any unexptected error occurs.
2. Uprade the firmware to v5.50 first, then upgrade to v6.0.
Hope it helps.

Thanks. I am finally ready to perform this upgrade.  I have two questions:

1. I no longer see the 5.50 firmware on the zyxel support download page; where can I find the 5.50 firmware download?
2. I no longer see the 6.00 firmware on the zyxel support download page; I assume it has now been replaced with 6.10.  Should I upgrade to 5.50, and then to 6.10?

PS To clarify: I have the NWA-1123-AC-HD access points
