How to change EWC to CAPWAP Mode??

I was taught to use the "ap-type capwap" command in the guide, but there really is no command.

WLC#sh ver
Cisco IOS XE Software, Version 16.12.07

WLC#ap-type ?
% Unrecognized command

Hi @JustTakeTheFirstStep Can you post show version from the AP which you are trying to covert.

FYI, methods to convert is listed here. Embedded Wireless Controller Conversion on Catalyst 9100 Access Points - Cisco

You can convert an EWC-AP to function only as CAPWAP by executing a single command in the access point CLI. To login to AP CLi

"wireless ewc-ap ap shell username admin"

then type the same command

"ap-type capwap"

Hi rahul-b,
got the same issue with a 9105AX.
Performed a hard reset (pushing button for 20sec), AP started again as EWC.
Once rebooted: wireless ewc-ap ap shell username Cisco (password Cisco)
en --> password Cisco

ap-type capwap
