I have an existing roaming 2.4 wireless network which consists of 4 autonomous 1242 APs. I need to expand the coverage area.
Can I add a controller and LAPs with the same SSID and expect my clients to roam from the autonomous AP to the LAP?
Or do I need to replace the 4 1242s with LAPs?
Thanks

The code you would need is here:
c1240-rcvk9w8-tar.124-25e.JAO3.tar

To convert the AP's, here are a few links to guide you:

You do not want to mix them. If you get a WLC, then you can convert the autonomous AP's to lightweight.

Can autonomous 1242AG APs be converted to work with Cisco 2500 WLC?
Thanks!

Yes... I just posted some links on the instructions to convert them on my previous post.
