Hello.

I have a NWA5123-AC-HD once managed by USG 110 firewall. Now that firewall is gone and we put on service a USG FLEX 200H that not include WiFi AP management (not yet).

When I try to log in to my AP I can see only the text "This AP is managed by AP controller. To manage this AP, please access AP controller's web interface."

How can I switch this AP to standalone mode without a factory reset?

Thank you.

    Hi @Fabio_Dangelo ,

    When the AP is managed by the AP Controller, it operates in managed mode. To switch from managed mode to standalone mode, a factory reset is necessary.

    • If there is no USG110, you need to perform the factory reset manually on the NWA5123-AC HD.
    • If you still have the USG110, you can delete the NWA5123-AC HD from the AP list, and the AP will reset itself automatically.
