    I tried putting in the command to download the updated software from my tftp server, and of course I got the error message you said I would get. So how do I get around it? I can't join it to the WLC with the current image, and I can't update the image manually, so it's really looking like the 3702i devices we purchased are just bricks that light up.

      Maybe you have old firmware, try to replace capwap with lwapp. If that won't help you need to check the documentation of your AP and firmware version. As far as I remember there is no archive feature on AP.

        That firmware was only released two days before James asked the question so I take that like me, he is trying to get hold of the firmware file. He might be able to find ap3g2-k9w7-tar.153-3.JF12.tar available or wait until someone shares JF14.
