Configure a Catalyst IW9167E access point to convert between Wi-Fi mode (CAPWAP AP), URWB mode, and WGB/uWGB mode.

Configure image conversion to change the operational mode of a Catalyst IW9167E access point to meet different network requirements.

Use image conversion when you need to change the operational mode of a Catalyst IW9167E access point between Wi-Fi mode (CAPWAP AP), URWB mode, and WGB/uWGB mode based on your network deployment needs.

Procedure

	1.	To convert from CAPWAP to URWB mode or from WGB/uWGB to URWB mode, use this CLI command: Example: `Device# configure boot mode urwb` The access point reboots and starts up in URWB mode.
	2.	To convert from URWB to CAPWAP mode or from WGB/uWGB to CAPWAP mode, use this CLI command: Example: `Device# configure boot mode capwap` The access point reboots and starts up in CAPWAP mode.
	3.	To convert from CAPWAP to WGB/uWGB mode or from URWB to WGB/uWGB mode, use this CLI command: Example: `Device# configure boot mode wgb` Note Image conversion performs a full factory reset which completely erases the configuration and data.
