WNDAP360 Boot loop

[asp_adrian]

While I appreciate that the WNDAP360 is end-of-life, we're still using these access points at a school with a WC7520 wireless controller.  One of the APs appears to be stuck in a boot loop.  When powered, I can see the following:

• Power light - solid orange
• Activity light - solid green
• Network light - solid green
• 2.4 GHz light - off
• 5 GHz light - off
• The reset button clicks but has no effect.
• The AP is not pingable by either it's previous (static) IP address or the default IP address.
• Attaching a console cable, the following text is repeatedly displayed every 5 seconds:

U-Boot 1.1.4 dni-1.07 (Jul 7 2009 - 14:17:28)

AP94 (ar7100) U-boot 0.0.12
DRAM: b8050000: 0xc0140180

It almost looks like the reset is stuck on!?

I can find anything on the Community describing this particular problem.  Can anyone offer any advice on how to recover the access point?  

Thanks,

Adrian.

@asp_adrian,

Welcome to our community! 🙂

You cannot access the admin page of the WNDAP360 if the firmware is from the controller. You may need to do a factory reset using the 30/30/30 method and try to install a standalone firmware by accessing its IP.

I'll be sending you the instruction via private message.

Regards,

John
