Firmware for Aerohive AP121

Arjanr — Sun, 18 Aug 2024 07:49:47 GMT

I have gotten my hands on a number of old AP121's that I've managed to connect to XIQ, but unfortunately, I can't update/configure them because the firmware is apparently too old (running 6.5.4.0). I checked the Extreme portal but it doesn't seem to have any firmware for the AP121's anymore. Is there another way to get the firmware so I can manually update the AP's?

You need to download AP141-6.5r16.img.S. This is the current and last release for the AP121. The AP121 and AP141 are the same AP, just with different antenna configuration. The AP121 has internal antennas and the AP141 has external antennas. They made a change to the naming scheme many versions ago. The old naming scheme was AP121-141-6.xrx.img.S. This was the same for the AP330/350 and the AP370/390. Then, they decided to just list one model in the firmware name (dropping the internal antenna model from the name of the firmware).

Where can I download the AP141-6.5r16.img.S file? I checked the download section in the portal, but I'm unable to find firmware for the AP141/121.

Did you go to downloads and search for "AP141"? Here is a screenshot from when I go to the portal.

I could have sworn I searched there before, but apparently I didn't 🙂 I managed to download it now, thanks!
