I've bought WNDAP360 access point, and after openning the management page i found it's not standalone mode with firmware version 2.3.1.5_1400 which i think a controller firmware.
My q is how do i convert it to standalone mode.
PS: i've tried to upgrade to 3.5 version but it take time and reboot with same condition same version...
HI Kabouelneel,
If you have a controller(as per the image in AP, it is WC7520 controller model ) try to upgarde it to latest image by downloading a Firmware for the cotroller here:

Or for making the AP to standalone you have to follow the steps mentioned(upgrade path) in the below URL, as from "2.3.1.5_1400" to direct 3.5 version is not supported due to some limitations.

Upgrade the AP with V2.1.11 standalone FW and then do a restore factory default settings. then follow trhe below sequence.
Firmware upgrade sequence for WNDAP360 from 2.x:
V2.1.11 -> V2.1.12 -> V3.5.20.0 - Correct sequence.After loading the V3.5.20.0, open the AP GUI and Apply "NO" for "Buisiness Central Enabled" settings to use the Accesspoint in standalone mode.
