image upgrade not needed

NicolasMoreno64819 — Wed, 06 Oct 2021 20:18:19 GMT

I need to update my AP 1562e from version 8.10.151.0 to version 8.10.162.0 but I get the error that the update is not necessary, I tried to update it to a previous version 8.10.105.0 but I still have the same problem

How can I upgrade to version 8.10.162.0?

Assuming that you are trying to upgrade a mobility express WLC, the method you’re following or the commands may not be correct. (command shown in the capture is to convert an Lwap to ME) Please follow the below guide.

I don't want it as wlc I want to leave it as AP

I have always updated my APs with that command but this has been the only one that does not allow due to that error

Try doing the upgrade using GUI.

Please use the below command to upgrade the AP. But I would recommend changing it to capwap as it is currently working as mobility express as per the capture
