3200 controller OS update

[Tman]

Hello all!

My first time posting here. I would like to know if it worth/possible to upgrade my 3200 Controller from 6.1.3.9 to the latest 6.3.1.8?

If so, where can I find the procedure for doing so?

Also, having problems making an AP-105 into a Campus AP. I will make another thread for this one.

Thanks

You would need to purchase the extra memory kit to upgrade the controller before going to 6.3

Would I gain much from upgrading?

There are many new features, but some may not be available with the legacy 3200 controllers.

Don't make the leap from 6.1 to 6.3 in one go if its a production network and you need a seamless upgrade. I've seen some issues with the config once upgraded, so I'd recommend 6.1 > 6.2 > 6.3.

Ok, good idea... but not sure if I realy need to upgrade yet.

I am still having issues with my Windows 7 users when they are forced to change their password, it will not let them do it through wifi!

I might be missing something else.

Thats not a wireless issue that would be fixed by controller code. It takes some changes on your RADIUS server.

[Tman]

Yeah, I need to get intimate with my RADIUS server.

I read somewhere that I have to make one on a 2008 or newer server.

Right now, I have a 2003 server which is probably why I'm having these problems.

Tman,

It should work on Windows 2003 server as well.
