2) Download the IOS image ( you can get this ios image from cisco.com) on your desktop.

3) Rename the image into c1130-k9w7-tar.default

4) Give your computer Ethernet an address in the range 10.0.0.2 till

10.0.0.30

5) Run the tftp server on your computer.

    - Make sure that the directory of your tftp server is the desktop.

    - Specify the AP address on the tftp server if needed.

6) Connect the AP to the computer with Ethernet cable.

7) Remove the power from the AP.

😎 Press and hold Mode button on the AP, and insert the power jacket in the AP.

9) Keep pressing on the Mode button for (20-30 seconds) until you see RED Led.

10) Wait until the image installed and all led lights return to green
