Hi djccy,
Welcome to the community! :)
Just to verify, was the WAC720 managed by a wireless controller before? Kindly try to factory reset the WAC720 after the TFTP firmware upgrade.
Let me share the forum thread below and hope it helps:

Thank you!
1, yes, WAC720 was previously controller management. Now the controller is broken.
2, I have to press the reset button to restore it to factory settings, but this is not useful
3, successfully uploaded many times firmware, but can not always run new firmwareI have read the post you shared. But I don't understand the following:
(So I found a command on the console to simply TFTP the .tar file to the /tmp folder on the WAC730. Then once it was in place I ran another script called firmware-upgrade or something like that pointing it at the same .tar file )
He said after uploading the firmware to /TMP. What commands are entered to run the new firmware?
Thank you again!- DaneASep 13, 2018NETGEAR Employee Retired
