Huawei AP5030DN Fit to Fat

glitchlist Blog 4 Comments

Huawei APs are “Fit” Access Points by default. It means AP Controller is needed to work.

If you want to install a single AP and you don’t need an AP Controller you must convert/change firmware of the AP.

Easy step-by-step:

  1. Login on Huawei Enterprise Support and Download AP-FAT firmware
  2. Login on AP console port
  3. system-view
  4. ap-mode-switch prepare
  5. ap-mode-switch check
  6. ap-mode-switch fat tftpnew-firmware-image ip-tftp-server
  7. Say “YES” to restart the AP
  8. End! Now you have a standalone AP with full-functions aboard!

  1. Hello,

    I bought a used AP6050DN from eBay and need a FAT firmware file. Would it be possible that you download it from Huawei’s homepage and provide it for me?

    Regards
    Michael
