Starting a new thread from a customer's question:
Aaron,
Thanks for this information. I struggle with how to install an IOS into an AP. And I am still not very clear on how this is to be accomplished. I have an 881W and have downloaded what I believe to be the latest IOS for this AP (ap801-k9w7-tar.152-2.JA). Problem is that I have not really found a good or at least clear set of instructions in how to load this IOS into my AP, so I have not done that yet.
Does the IOS that is currently installed into the AP remain after an update or does the new IOS overwrite the current IOS. And how does one recover from a, heaven forbid, faulty installation. What is the fallback from that. I'd appreciate any information you can point me to to help me better understand how I can update my AP. Because, right now, I am most certainly hesitant to even attempt an upgrade.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Copy the IOS to the 881W router and enable TFTP on the router (command: tftp flash:IOS.tar).
Remote into the WAP and run the "arch download-sw tftp:

With much trepidation, I went ahead and installed the new ap IOS and I am now running ap801-k9w7-tar.152-2.JA with no problems so far. Thanks for your help.
