WPA 2 on the Cisco Aironet 1242AG

[david.hegner]

Hello,

I am in the process of moving our office and part of the task involves relocating our existing wireless access points. They are all 1242AG's running the c1240-k9w7-mx.124-10b.JDA3 IOS.

I would like to change the security on the access points to WPA 2 but that selection is not available. I think upgrading the IOS will solve this problem but I am not sure. So I guess I have two questions:

1) Does this Cisco model support WPA 2 ?

2) If so what IOS do I need to load to make WPA 2 available?

Thank you !!!

The 1242 do support WPA2, I would use the latest code though. I don't remember what code allows wpa2 configuration but the latest should have that feature.

Review this doc.

No problem. Just make sure you don't enable both wpa and wpa2 on the same SSID. Devices have difficulty with that. Also use AES only with wpa2.
