This state can last several minutes. • AP is rebooting. This state occurs after the firmware upgrade process completes when the access point reboots. • Applying configurations. This state occurs after the wireless controller upgrades the firmware on the access point when the wireless controller pushes the WiFi configurations to the access point. • Connecting. This state occurs when the wireless controller attempts to establish a management connection with the access point. Make sure that a DHCP server is enabled in the network. Otherwise, the access point remains in the Connecting state and does not transition to the Connected state. • Connected. This state indicates that the firmware upgrade of the access point was successful, the WiFi configurations were pushed to the access point, and the access point is managed by the wireless controller. • Not Connected.
