The access point reboots after entry of the conversion commands (noted below).
A Fast Ethernet connection to the controller for the conversion from a mesh (bridge) to non-mesh
(local) access point is recommended. If the backhaul is a radio, after the conversion you must
enable Ethernet and then reload the access image. After the reload and reboot the backhaul is
Fast Ethernet.
When a root access point is converted back to a lightweight access point, all of its subordinate
mesh access points lose connectivity to the controller. Consequently, a mesh access point is
unable to service its clients until the mesh access point is able to connect to a different root
access point in the vicinity. Likewise, clients might connect to a different mesh access point in
the vicinity to maintain connectivity to the network.
