WNDAP360

I have a wndap360 that I have taken off site, it was preconfigured to work with a controller. i want to re utilise it. I turned it on, and all i get is the the amber flashing power light. i have found out its DHCP address and can logon it. This does not give me any config option, Help!!! i dont really want to take it back to site to plug back in to the controller

 

  • so all sorted now 

     

    what I did was downgraded the firmware as it was on 2.3...... , i took it back to 2.1 ..... and I can now manage it as i want to 

     

    thank you for your help

    Hello chrisbf1, 

     

    Welcome to the community! 

     

    The best way is still to push a standalone firmware to the AP. Eve if it has been reset to default I don't think it will go back to standalone mode. When an AP is connected to a controller, it is using a "thin firmware" pushed by the controller. To get it back to a basic AP, you'll need to have a standalone AP downloaded to it. Do you happen to know the IP of the AP? 

     

    Thanks,
