9120 eWLC to capwap conversion permanently

junaid.akram — Wed, 02 Aug 2023 12:23:11 GMT

I want to convert a previous EWC AP back to lightweight.

I've done ap-type capwap, but show version still tells me the AP is EWC capable. Does anyone know how I can make the AP lightweight mode only?

AP Running Image : 17.3.4.154
Primary Boot Image : 17.3.4.154
Backup Boot Image : 17.3.4.154
AP Image type : EWC-AP IMAGE
AP Configuration : EWC-AP CAPABLE

Vendor will not put this information in a Data sheet for obivious reason. How far the signal goes does not rely on the Access Point but on the environment itself. Not only obscule reduce signal coverage but noise also can. So, what vendors inform is the power and the gain.

But I did many tests in the past and in a open space at maximum power an AP reach 100m with at lest -85dBm RSSI.

Get a wireless site survey done.

A lot of lucrative businesses have sprouted over the last 20 years and their job is to fix poorly designed AP placement.
