WNDAP360 Boot loop
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.

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.

John
