1811W router wireless - convert to lightweight?

Hi guys,

I have searched with google & here in the forums as well so if I missed this discussion I did at least make an effort first.

We have a couple of smaller remote locations running cisco 1811W routers (built in switch ports & wireless).

Now I have been tasked with determining if the wireless portion can be converted to Lightweight or not; if so what is required.

As I mentioned I have done some searching in my WCS documentation, google and the user forums with no luck.

Anyone care to offer a helpful hand before I go to Cisco and open a case asking the question?

Thank you in advance.

Mike

P.S.

I am running

WCS 7.0.230.0

WLC 5508 (same code)

the 1811 isn't convertable. You have to have a router that has the AP 801 module.

HTH,
Steve

Agree with Steve, it's not possible.
