Not much you can do - even of you have the IP address. These are strictly controller managed devices, either bound to a local controller, or to a cloud controller. Ubiquity does provide some discovery tools and Apps. But then, you still won't be able access that AP easily.

Install an IP scanner to detects IP address and MAC address. The XS716T switch detects the Learned MAC address only.

ok, which range do I scan?
0.0.0.0. - 255.255.255.255?

Check the IP range of your router.
Example: starting IP: 192.198.1.2 and ending IP: 192.168.1.254

The XS716T is a L2 switch, so not much need for L3 information..
From a Linux system ping to the broadcast address, like 192.168.1.255 - one of the answering ones might be the AP.

I know the default IP is 192.168.1.20. I have my laptop with a default IP of 192.168.1.10. I used IP Scanner to scan between 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.255, but it's only finding the laptop IP.
This is a used access point, so it might not be in the default IP. That's what I'm having issue with.

What is the brand and model number of the AP?
