Model: EAP245  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 5.0.4

I have two EAP245's that provide WiFi access with the Omada software controller, and one AP connects to the other (eth2-> PoE supply LAN).

I recently had to move the machine running the controller which, due to wiring layout, resulted in the controller being connected to one of the AP's eth2 port, rather than to the shared switch, and neither of the AP's appear to be able to communicate with the controller anymore, though the host is able to ping both APs.

I've tried updating the AP firmware as well as the controller software. It also seems that both APs are in standalone mode, and I've not found a way to set them to controller mode.

Ah, turned out the firewall was blocking discovery (default port 29810)

@Vedrit Do you mean that the controller cannot detect these two APs now ? If so, you can try to troubleshoot according to the FAQ on their official website to see if you can solve your problem.
