Hi all,

is it possible to downgrade an AIR-LAP1142N-E-K9 from 12.4.23 version to 7.0.235.3?

Thanks in advance.

A lightweight access points gets its image from the wlc. There is no downgrade per say. Autonomous APs you can upgrade or downgrade. If your looking at how to upload code to access points or convert them, here are some links.
