Use the archive download-sw command to pull the file from your TFTP server: Set your PC’s IP to 10
This image is frequently used to convert "Lightweight" APs (which require a controller) into "Autonomous" APs. Site Surveys:
: This version is often recommended for wireless site surveys because it allows the AP to broadcast a signal without needing a live network controller connection.
If your autonomous AP is working and you have CLI or console access, you can use the archive download-sw command. You must first host the .tar file on a TFTP, FTP, or HTTP server accessible from the AP.
AP# archive download-sw /overwrite tftp://<TFTP-SERVER-IP>/ap3g2-k9w7-tar.153-3.jbb1.tar Hold down the MODE button
Keep holding until the LED turns solid Red (usually about 20–30 seconds), then release.
