Check the APs LED State and LED Flash State from WIRELESS > "the AP" > Advanced or from WIRELESS > Global Configuration > General > LED State

If the LED is flashing it usually means BAD.

Please see the below screenshot. and the ap is joined to wlc, how can you say it is BAD? If it is bad, what is wrong with it?

If it's flashing Blue, that's good. It is downloading software. Check for status on the wireless tab in the GUI or "show ap image all" from CLI
