Recently I got an Aironet702I off of eBay for my home lab. I'm new to the WAPs. I was able to figure out resetting the password and username but I think it is in controller mode though. How do I get reset out of controller mode back into a standalone access point? Thank you in advance.

Do you have the autonomous IOS file?

No, I don't have the IOS file.

Go to the Cisco website.
Look for the filename of the autonomous firmware you want. Take note of that filename.
Is "Google" your friend?
