[peteris peteris]

Hello!

How do I configure my AIR-CAP2602E-E-K9? I have to delete everything in it but it seems that all my previous methodes do not work? Is there a tutorial or any instruction to how to do it properly? 

Best regards,
Peteris

          - How do you mean ? This AP can be used as client (CAPWAP) access point only , (connected to a controller)

I want to do a factory reset to it. I have done 30-30-30 reset previously with these AP but don't know why it doesn't work anymore.  I use same cables. Perhaps there's a problem with specific AP?

I have problem like this. It does not reset the device and does not go where I can use default USERNAME and PASSWORD

 - Looks like it currently has no (valid) software installed , look at this procedure : https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless-mobility-knowledge-base/access-point-rommon-recovery-ap-prompt-recovery-example/ta-p/3119495 , but you will need to change the image according to an image that is compatible with your access point (and or make sure you have that available first) ,

I want to do a factory reset, but when I do necessary steps it goes to ap mode all the time and I can't use default USERNAME and PASSWORD to check if the factory reset has occurred.

AP stuck in Rommon mode.

you need to reload IOS.

@peteris peteris I think you're missing the point of what @Sandeep Choudhary and @marce1000 are trying to explain to you!  

You have completely wiped the flash of your AP (or the flash got corrupted) so there is no IOS, so your AP cannot boot so it starts in ROMMON mode.  Before you can do anything else you must INSTALL an IOS so that the AP has an operating system to boot off.  Follow the instructions in the link provided already.
