Not showing up in controller/Is offline but still working

Sometimes the AP appear to be offline or it does not show up for adoption, in that case you are able to ssh into the AP and run a command to fix it.

If the ap is not adopted you can connect to it with ubnt/ubnt as default username and password.

If the AP is already adopted you can find the password and username in the controller by going to Settings > System > Advanced and find username and password under Device Authentication

ssh ubnt@<ip/hostname>

Inside the shell of the AP you can run the set-inform command to tell the device where the controller is.

set-inform http://<ip/hostname of controller>:8080/inform

After you have run the command the AP should show up in the controller ready for adoption, or be online again if it was showing as offline.
