For this though does my AP need to be 8.6 before I can change it to IAP or can I change my AP to any IAP version greater than 8.6?
I am assuming the AP needs to be version 8.6 or greater. If that is the case then how do I go about finding the correct firmware to do the CLI/tftp upgrade?
Thank you for your help ariyap!

you can convert your AP-315s to IAP starting with AOS 8.6.0.0
there is a command called "ap convert" here is the link to the user guide

I think that this has been asked and answered plenty but I am still having issues determining if it is possible to convert the AP-315 to an IAP, without a controller. I manage plenty of IAPs but just recently purchased some non-instant access points on ebay thinking that I could easily convert them to IAP.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks
