Thank You Dude!! It worked like a charm! My PC running the TFTP server was windows 10 and it held me up until I tried an old XP machine and then it went exactly as you put it, Thanks!!
I am glad that the process went smooth. I usually use SolarWinds TFTP server which is a free product and never had issues with setting that up on Windows 10.
Thanks for posting. Process worked well in my case. Had to fiddle with OpenTftp to prevent a BSOD on my Win10 system during the tar extraction but all ended well.

This video helped out a ton. I am attempting to do this using the "transfer" application from the App Store since it seems a bit easier than trying to enable TFTP from terminal. When I try and have the AP initiate file transfer to grab the file and download it will sit for a second and then state connection timeout. In the log section it'll show the access point connected then zero KB moved. I feel like this would be done easier on a windows machine am I correct? Any insight is super appreciated. Thanks much.
ROY 564 I have never tried that on the specific model but most of the models I have converted worked great without any issue. All you need is the correct file. Also, kindly leave a feedback if the process went smooth on your specific model, thanks!

Sure, there are multiple ways to do it. The first works great as I have described in the video but requires a console cable plugged directly to your access point. The second method allows you to downgrade without having the console cable but you must have SSH or Telnet configured on your device and the process is straight forward. debug capwap console cli (enables full range of CLI commands, like config terminal that are not available in lap cli.) archive download-sw /overwrite tftp://IP-ADDR-GOES-HERE/file-name-goes-here.tar Let me know how everything goes. Thanks,
Abhijeet, yes, it will cover most of the models but there will be not much difference the process will remain the same. Also, it convert the access point into Autonomous mode means the AP itself don't need to connect through the WLC. It will act as a standalone access point.
I am sorry but unfortunately, I do not have those files anymore with me. But you can always go to the Cisco website and download it. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you,
thanks so much for your video, but i have a problem while extracting new OS , it giving me no enough space , is there's solution for that , thanks again .

hi, after i typed in tar -xtract tftp://172.16.10.12/c1140-k9w7-tar.153-3.JD.tar flash:, its stayed still for a while and said "CONNECTION TIME OUT" i have a feeling its the connection between the CISCO and tftp server? any ideas how to check make sure the connection between the 2 is connect and talking to each other?
Emily T, Connection timout means your device is unable to establish the connection to your TFTP box. Please make sure Windows local firewall/ Antivirus is not blocking any incoming connection to your TFTP. Verify TFTP service is started and double check your TFTP bindings with the interface IP. I would also recommend you to go with SolarWinds TFTP server which is freely available on Solarwinds website. Please let me know this fix your issue, thanks!
You can test it by reestablishing the session on your AP and check the logs on your TFTP. Just make sure you when you type set DEFAULT_ROUTER x.x.x.x point that ip to the TFTP Server.
Hi, i just stop the firewall and i can see the communication between ap and tftp server now , but there is an error which i have no ideas what this mean, the error message is “” FILE error 10054 in system call recv An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host””” Any help would be great appreciated
