Cisco 861w Router query

jonathan chevreau · 05-05-2009, 11:02 AM

I have purchased a Cisco 861w router and also desire to upgrade the firmware before I configure it. Can anyone who is well-known with Cisco devices explain to me as to whether the wireless part of the router (Aironet) has a separate firmware upgrade? Or would the most recent Aironet software be built-in with the most recent primary router bin for the 861w?

Thanks!

I'd ask about Cisco, they're the ones which might know for sure.

I logged on to Cisco's site and checked to see if there is any special software needed to be upgraded for the wireless section and it appears there's none....as I supposed. The wireless section is almost certainly just treated as an extra interface for the router and should already be supported in the IOS software specific for the router. The only software I see screening for the 861W is just the IOS router software.
