# WiFi Pineapple Beta Updates

The WiFi Pineapple has multiple **update channels** for its update mechanism. These channels allow you to specify what type of firmware release you want to use on your WiFi Pineapple.

Currently, there are two update channels:

* **Stable**
* **Beta** - Pre-release updates that may be unstable, but may also contain new bug fixes, features and more.

To manage your selected update channel, go to **Settings > Advanced** in the Web Interface.

Using the drop-down list and the **Set Update Channel** button, you'll be able to change the update channel. You may set the channel back to Stable at any time.

Once you've picked an alternative channel, go back to the **Settings** tab and **Check for new updates.** If an update is available, you will be presented with the option to update.
