2802i restarting due wcpd and coruppted wifi dev

[Vice Lacmanovic]

I have one 2802i with corrupted system on both partitions. wifi dev is missing so watchdog is restarting system every 5 minutes or so. I do not have enough time to upload and unpack correct image using archive download-sw command because of the system restart caused by wcpd. That is the reason part1 is corrupted, system was restarted while tar archive was unpacked and installed. Is there any way to disable watchdog (or radio 0 and radio 1) so that system is not constantly restarting. Image is lightwheight 8.5.140. RMA is not easy option because of off-shore system installation and unreliable Internet access.

Regards,

Vice

or is it possible to reset watchdog counter?

Let the AP join TWO (2) controllers with a totally different firmware and then get the AP to go back to the original controller.

new controllers with fw 8.10.130 and 8.5.161 are not helping

ap is still restarting after 8 minutes

Open a TAC case. If they say that the AP needs to be replaced, then you know the only option is to figure out how to replace it.

RMA the AP, you have 10 years of warranty.
