Hi Leo

how do i recovery the ap via CLI command

regards

[Sandeep Choudhary · Accepted solution]

adding to LEO:

k9w7 - autonomous (or “site survey”) IOS
k9w8 – full lightweight IOS (this is what is bundled in the WLC .aes image, and is factory installed on “mesh” APs)
rcvk9w8 - lightweight recovery image – this is factory installed on lightweight APs, unless a “mesh” image is specified; it lacks radio firmware

download link is already provided by Leo.

I convert the ap but didn't join the WLC , it has an IP on same subnet as WLC.

i have 5500 series with 7.3v

I got this error on WLC

Discovery request decoding with subnet broadcast and wrong AP IP address.

this is the error log on AP :

Can you please disable US and see if the AP will join.

Your WLC is set up with a manually-set time/date, which can be wrong.  Please ensure the time and date are correct because if your time is wrong, the AP will not join.
