:Some devices need operational firmware downloaded to them after reset, so it's handled at boot time by a firmware downloader. A typical example is devices which have s DSP in them; the DSP's code would be loaded into the device's RAM designated for the purpose. For Wi-Fi, it might handle the low level details of associating with an AP, performing the WPA2 protocol for example so the device looks for the most part logically like any other network interface, e.g. Ethernet. In this case, it would have nothing to do with the firmware in the Wi-Fi AP. | :Some devices need operational firmware downloaded to them after reset, so it's handled at boot time by a firmware downloader.

::Thanks for that, seems to be the only viable explanation. I can't imagine, being a guest, tinkering with host's router's firmware (feels grossly inappropriate), came here to understand that reference. --[[Special:Contributions/141.101.96.88|141.101.96.88]] 01:40, 15 January 2017 (UTC) | ::Thanks for that, seems to be the only viable explanation.
