9800 EWLC - No wireless icon or embedded wireless setup option

[Kenneth Mohammed]

Hello,

We have a 9300-24UX switch running version 17.8.1, with the embedded wireless controller. We are in the process of trying to deploy it, but we aren't seeing the wireless icon at the top of the GUI, nor are we getting the option for "Embedded Wireless Setup". The switch does see the controller, as we can see the option for wireless LANs on the dashboard. Are we missing something? Please advise.

Thanks, but that guide is for the appliance. I have the embedded controller in a 9300 switch, which i have the guide for. It is just that the necessary icons are missing.
