Upgrade G1G1 using autoreinstallation method

[David Leeming]

Thanks John, but I did realise that simple fact. The APs do have DHCP server
set up. They still move on.

Yes.   If there is no school server, and no other connection to the  
Internet,
then you will have to let one of the APs provide DHCP service.   If  
the laptops
connect to an AP, but aren't issued an address via DHCP, they move on...
