Thanks for the information and I did speak to my reseller. However, I stand by my review. The access point should come with some documentation. If nothing else, it should tell someone how to install the ceiling mount. Various resellers I checked with stated it comes with documentation.

The first unit did not provide link on the Ethernet line to the switch after power was supplied for over 10 minutes. Even if I had a controller, what was it going to do without seeing link?

The second unit had parts rattling around inside of it. That is unacceptable and meets the definition of DOA.
