Pre-requisites
Your Access Point and Controller should be already paired and working together for a simple WiFi Network.
- If you use the cloud version of Omada Controller, it should be the Standard version and not the free one.
- You need a TP-Link controller to use Aiwifi. Stand Alone mode access points do not work with Aiwifi.
- This manual was tested with Omada controller version: 5.15.8.2
