<div>
Means, No need to change the IOS ?<br />
<br />
we had experienced that &nbsp;2600i series AP has been upgraded to 7.3 through 7.3 verson<br />
controller, is that not applies to 7.4 Acess points?<br />
<br />
Is any difference btn 7.3 and 7.4 version..<br />
<br />
I have configured VWLC and Access point got IP and from AP to controller is pinging but<br />
not joining, but it is in local mode.<br />
<br />
Should we change to flex mode before join AP ?<br />
<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
we are planning to deploy cisco virtual wireless controller 7.4 version<br />
<br />
we have LWAP cisco 1600i series AP's of 40..<br />
<br />
<br />
As per docs, we understood that to make join a access point to the controller, we need to upgrade a AP to 7.4 image.Is the only way or is there other route to workout ? <br />
<br />
1. is there any procedure or video demo for how to upgrade<br />
<br />
2. Is there any free tool can we get to upgrade at a time 40 Aps should we do individually<br />
<br />
Regards<br />

IOS upgradation to wireless access point

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.

Wireless Networking

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.
