Model: EAP225  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version:

I have a EAP 245 wall mount which I need to change the address of the controller. I have successfully changed it on my switches but I need to do it on a couple of APs.  How can I do this REMOTELY .  I have access to the router but it does not have the ability for me to VPN in.  I can setup a temporary NAT rule for web access or SSH but I cannot get either to work.  How do I change/factory reset the AP without going to site?

Is the AP currently managed by an (old) SDN controller?...if so, just forget the device via the UI...this will be the same as a factory reset.

 

However, if your controller isn't local you can definitely paint yourself into a corner.  I think we need more context on your topology.

Hi, thanks for the reply.   Two AP's were connected to a controller (version 5) but now I want to move the AP's to another controller using a new DNS name.  This controller is currently shutdown and a new controller and the new domain name is running.  I did not "Forget" the AP's before I shutdown the old controller.

  @Jellyhead It's hard to do it remotely without any other thing.

 

A simple way: ask your stuff connect a PC to the EAP site router, and you can do Teamviewer/Anydesk to remote manage the PC. Then use EAP local IP to login, and if this is an EAP with recently firmware, there will be a RESET option on it's web interface. After resetting the EAP, login again and set up Controller IP.
