I just received a new air-ap1131AG from a seller on ebay. It came with system software 12.3(2)JA2, but the most recent is 12.4.25d-JA. What do I need to do to get the new version after creating an account? This is for home use and I'm starting to get the feeling that I'll wind up needing a nice expensive service contract or something.

Also, after getting it setup I noticed that the 802.11g network stops broadcasting after a few minutes. Even hard resetting and disabling the 802.11a radio doesn't solve the problem.

you need to have purchased SmartNet to (legally) obtain new IOS, I'm pretty sure.
 
Thats what I was afraid of. Guess I'll worry about that after I figure out why the wireless quits on me.

Looking at the lights now (only the .11g radio active) and it looks like the light is going yellow when the 802.11g network stops, which according to the booklet indicates IOS errors. The A network keeps on ticking though, so maybe it's a hardware issue?

here's a censored config file:

That is most likely why it was on ebay. Sounds like the g radio is toast. A lot of cisco refurbishers dump the shit they can't resell due to hardware issues on ebay and sell it "as is" so you can't complain. That's not to say there isn't perfect working order cisco on ebay but you have to be weary of a "working pull" cisco auction.

And yes you have to have smart net access for ios upgrades.
