AIR CAP3702I Set Up

[DanielComeau58551]

Hi,
I work at a small library and we recently got at AIR CAP3702I as part of a grant to extend our WiFi into the parking lot so people can have internet access during the pandemic.

We've got another WAP and a staff wireless router set up but don't have a Cisco Lan controller. Can we set up the device without one? Or would we need one in order to get the AIR CAP3702I working?

So far, I haven't found any useful information in the online documentation.

I followed the link in the solution for that question.  link : https://supportforums.cisco.com/video/11928901/lwapp-lightweight-mode-autonomous-conversion-and-vice-versa

Unfortunately, the instructional Video will not play.

I tried accessing the documents in that thread and got:

You need to convert AP into Autonomous mode (require image k9w7.x) and then you can configure it independently.

Refer below post on how to convert to Autonomous

Once converted, you can apply a simple configuration like below and connected it to your internet modem ethernet port where DHCP is enabled. You should modify SSID name & password field as you need.

conf t
hostname <AP_HOSTNAME>
!
dot11 ssid <SSID_NAME>
authentication open
authentication key-management wpa version 2
guest-mode
wpa-psk ascii <SSID_PASSWORD>
!
interface Dot11Radio0
encryption mode ciphers aes-ccm
ssid <SSID_NAME>
no shutdown
!
interface Dot11Radio1
channel width 40-above
encryption mode ciphers aes-ccm
ssid <SSID_NAME>
no shutdown
!
interface BVI1
ip address dhcp
!
end
write memory
