Hi,
I have 9 access points of different models connected to my 2504 wlc. Currently, the CAP3502I and three LAP1141N have successfully joined the mobility group. Whereas there are three LAP1131AG and one AP1131AG are not listed in the gui.
I have recently converted these AP from LWAPP firmware to autonomous firmware.
Troubleshooting from the ap perspective, they seem to get valid IP addresses from my dhcp router.
Please let me know if you need any outputs. Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.

If you run the AP's on autonomous IOS (k9w7) images, then they won't be able to join the WLC, they need to be on k9w8 which is the lightweight AP image.

Convert these AP in capwap mode.
You are still using Autonomus image.(
flash:/c1130-k9w7-mx.124-25d.JA1/c1130-k9w7-mx.124-25d.JA1"

the time of my controller is correct, so is the AP. It is the first thing I configure on controller as it does not retain upon reboot.
I have not set up ntp for my network so i would use manual config for now.
