Upgrade AP1832i firmware to ME without service agreement

[Edmundkong]

I got a new CISCO AP1832i-S-K9

Need firmware upgrade to make it work alone.

However i cannot download firmware from Cisco.com.

 It said "To Download this software, you must have a valid service contract associated to your Cisco.com profile."

Hi,

The AP should come with both ME and capwap images on it by default. In the console can you type ap-type capwap and see if it converts to 'standard' lightweight? Or ap-type mobility-express to make it go to ME mode.

Thanks,

Ric

Read the Cisco Security Advisory called "Multiple Vulnerabilities in Wi-Fi Protected Access and Wi-Fi Protected Access II" and scroll down to the  "Customers Without Service Contracts" section.  Read very, very carefully the first two paragraphs with emphasis on the second paragraph. 

Hope this helps.

That means i have no way to download ME firmware on the internet?

Need to contact local service support team but they are off today .

So... read carefully what Leo has linked you to then perhaps log a tac case to tac@cisco.com explaining your security issue and your requirement for a later ME image..
