    Hello SidS, 

     

    Welcome to the community! 

     

    There is no need for a rollback. When an APs are connected to a controller, its maintenance and upgrade are centralized and managed by the controller. It is using a special firmware (Thin Firmware) pushed by the controller. What you are looking at (FW 3.5.20.0) is a standalone firmware. 

     

    Thanks,
