Need some advice for AP IOS upgrade (Wireless Access Point 3702 Series) ?

[Elrick Landon]

Hi to all

I recently purchase a Wireless Access Point (AIRCAP 3702E-E) with 4 antenna, i will use this device like wifi hotspot in my home.

I would like to upgrade it but i see two kind of AP IOS :

• Lightweight AP IOS Software
• Autonomous AP IOS

What are the difference ?

In case of Lightweight AP IOS Software will be the one to choose, i have multiple IOS :

• Wireless Lan, ap3g2-k9w8-tar.152-4.JB4.tar
• Wireless Lan Recovery, ap3g2-rcvk9w8-tar.152-4.JB4.tar

 Someone can tell me what is the difference between these two versions ?

Best Regards.

Elrick.

Hi Elrick,

Cisco AP AIRCAP3702E is Cisco enterprise unit.  Cisco small business support WAP4410N, WAP121, WAP321, WAP551, and WAP561 AP. However I will answer your questions.

Lightweight AP ISO you can use it ONLY if you connect AP to wireless controller

Autonomous AP ISO for manage and modify AP  by it self not required wireless controller.

Thanks,

Moh

Many thks, so the Autonomous release is the good one for me.

I just install it.
