If AP is on a WLC (9800)

ap name <AP Name> controller <primary/secondary/teritiary> <Controller Name> <Controller IP>

if from AP CLI

capwap ap {primary-base | secondary-base | tertiary-base}controller-name controller-ip-address

It can be done either GUI or CLI.  

GUI does not scale and takes a long time. 

CLI can scale and is faster.  If I have a long list, I usually pop the AP names into an Excel spreadsheet and create a formula.
