Cannot Reboot to Standalone Firmware Installer Using eth0 Auto IP “Reboot to Standalone Firmware Installer” web page fails to redirect

Why does "Reboot to Standalone Firmware Installer" for firmware updates web page fails to redirect?


Problem: Both eth0 and wlan0 of SGX5150/PW2050 have Auto IP addresses. In Web Browser, visit SGX5150/PW2050 using the eth0 Auto IP. Go to the "Administration" web page, and click the button "Reboot to Standalone Firmware Installer". The web page fails to redirect.


Reason: Although both in Auto IP, the two interfaces (eth0 and wlan0) belong to two separate Auto IP networks that have no inter-connection to each other.


Solution: Disable WLAN Profiles before rebooting to Standalone Firmware Installer.
