OH forget this! I'm just going to connect these LWAPPs to a 4400 controller and convert them that way. Good lord. Thanks for your input all! ****The question is UNANSWERED and closed!**** ... View more

The .tar file is in the TFTP Root folder. Also, I can't ping to the AP because if I let it boot like I did above, the 'tar -xtract c1200/k9w7-mx.123-8.JA 10.0.0.2' command won't work. If I unplug my Ethernet cable, allow the AP to boot, it will stay in ROMMON mode with the 'ap>' prompt. If I connect my cable then, it a few seconds before I can even try to ping the 10.0.0.1 address, it will boot up all the way to the ' AP000f.245b.5f11>' prompt. See my dilemma? ... View more

The Cisco Upgrade tool only changes a autonomous to LWAPP correct? Not vice versa? I've tried using the upgrade tool on a Wins7 and WindowsXP machine and it keeps giving me an error saying another TFTP server is in use...when it isn't. It's lying! ... View more
