@TRIXIK hi, you can upload files via tftp server to AP. Hope below thread will help.

No, because i'm in u-boot>> mode not in ap> because 2800 series uses another platform.

@TRIXIK If the AP has no bootable image in either the primary or backup partitions then your only option is to replace (RMA) the AP.
