Cisco 861w Router question

yubyub · 05-01-2009, 05:02 PM

I purchased a Cisco 861w router and wanted to upgrade the firmware before I configure it. Can someone familiar with Cisco devices enlighten me as to whether the wireless component of the router(Aironet) has a separate firmware upgrade? Or would the most recent Aironet software be included with the most recent primary router bin for the 861w?

Thanks!

From someone that knows this unit, he thinks it's all one piece of firmware.
