Unpair an AP

To unpair a WatchGuard AP from a Firebox, you remove the AP from the Paired Access Point list in the Gateway Wireless Controller. When you unpair an AP, the AP restarts with factory-default settings.

Automatically deployed APs are reset to factory-default settings if you disable the Automatic Deployment feature.
