Thank you. I was able to do this and I believe it worked. &nbsp;The light is now solid green and my tftp log shows a download so I assumed it updated. &nbsp;I can now ping the ap at 10.0.0.1 but cannot access the GUI. &nbsp;Any suggestions?

At the end of last year we purchased a 1040 series access point (AIR-LAP1041N-A-K9). &nbsp;I unfortunately did not notice the L in the product name and just realized it while trying to install it today. &nbsp;We do not have a cisco wireless controller here. &nbsp;Is there any way to allow this thing to work without one? &nbsp;Thanks.

Question about connecting a Cisco Lightweight AP to the network.

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.

Wireless Hardware

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.
