Hi All, first post so be gentle. Just got hold of a AP505i AP and I'm wondering if it can be used in standalone/autonomous mode. It will be the only wireless AP on my home network. hoping this isn't just a cloud device.

Any hints, tips and outright you bought the wrong item would be appreciated.

Hello pkeats,

Yes you can run the AP5051 in standalone mode. When you boot the AP up, if it gets into discovery mode, press "S" and it'll boot up into WiNG personality. Configure and use as standalone AP.

BR,

Christoph S.

Hi Chris,

Is the Press "s" used when a console cable is attached. once in WiNG can it be setup using a GUI.

Hello pkeats,

You will have to brush up on your CLI skills. You cannot manage WiNG devices in XIQ, you can only monitor them.

I hope this helps,
