[FREDERIC THERRIEN]

What Impact will the AP's when we change the hostname of the WLC (Was incorrectly Named).

1.  Will we lose connection to the AP's/AP's los3e

2.  DNS issues?

3.  DHCP issues with the AP's (they are assigned an IP Address and Gateway.

4.  Will the devices have to be rebooted.

Hi

I do not think name change has any major impact & no is the answer for all your 4 question. In CLI you can change sysname like below.

(WLC) >config sysname <new_sysname>

WLC hostname is uese when configuring AP high availability (ie primary & secondary WLC config on AP ). If that is in use, you need to update hostname bit.
