Configure Cisco ISR 1941W as Wireless Access point

viversector

Level 1

Hi,

I am trying to configure a Cisco 1941W to act as a wireless access point for an existing wired network. Interface gi0/1 on the 1941 will connect to a switch that is using the 192.168.115.0/24 range. The 1941 will have the IP 192.168.115.239. 

Is anyone able to provide me basic steps that I need to configure the 1941 and the integrated wireless AP? I just need to get the basic config for the 1941 and the web interface running for the wireless AP so I can configure the wireless settings from there.  

Thanks!

Thanks for those links, I must be doing something wrong, I don't seem to be able to ping 192.168.115.238 and 192.168.115.239 on the 1941 from a computer connected to the switch with an IP of 192.168.115.171.

My configs are below;
