Just upgraded SonicWALL firmware from 6.2.7.1 to 6.5.4.4 without any noticeable issues.
Under the SonicPoint firmware management page, the status for all models is "Needs Download." Followed the suggested link to software.sonicwall.com (redirects to mysonicwall.com), but cannot find any firmware downloads for SonicPoints. Is this because "support" expired for some of our access points? They appear to be working fine, but want to make sure they're being managed properly by the SonicWall.
Thank you for your help

The SonicPoint firmware is synchronized with the sonicOS Firmware i.e when the sonicwall firmware is upgraded it forces a firmware upgrade on the sonicpoint.
In sonicOS 6.5.4.4 the following are the firmware versions for different SonicPoint/Wave models:
- SonicPoint-Ni/Ne Firmware Version: 6.8.0.1_p_7
- SonicPoint-NDR Firmware Version: 7.8.0.1_p_7
- SonicPoint-ACe/ACi/N2 Firmware Version: 9.0.1.5_p_7
- SonicWave 432o/e/i Default Firmware Version: 9.1.1.0_p_14
- SonicWave 200 Default Firmware Version: 9.2.1.0_p_14
Your devices would have already synchronized with the onboard firmware and hence you do not have to download the firmware and upload it to the device.
