A WNDAP360 can be in Standalone mode , or it can be managed by a Wireless Controller.
If you want to change the type ( Managed to Standalone mode ) you need to flash the device firmware. Performing a Factory Reset ( Holding down Reset Button ) just resets the WebGui Login password.
Firmware upgrade sequence for WNDAP360 from 2.x:
V2.1.11 -> V2.1.12 -> V3.5.20.0 – Correct sequence.

You should then see it formating the file system and rebooting again
Once ready you can go upload V2.1.12 ( takes a while as it has to encrypt the filesystem )
Then V3.5.20.0 and whatever’s the latest!
