WC7520/AP360 Disable wireless administration of AP

How can I disable wireless administration for any AP so that only the WC7520 is in charge for the configuration?

Thanks in advance!

  • Once the Firmware of the AP is upgraded by the WC7520 controller, there are not many configurable options left in the AP. I don't know if there is a way to completely "turn off" access to the AP directly, but you could use a different VLAN for management. If all of your wireless profiles are configured to be in a separate VLAN from your "management" VLAN, then any wireless clients would not be able to access the AP login page.
