I am working in a new project were the vendor installed over 10 Access point model AIR-AP1852E on a WLC5508 with Software Version 8.2.100.0
but i can’t configure those AP in Flexconnect Mode.
Cisco documentation Confirm that the available modes are “Centralized local”, “Standalone”, “Sniffer”, “Cisco FlexConnect”, “Monitor”, “OfficeExtent” and “Mesh”.

but it only show you the “Local” & “Sniffer” so i will guide you how to fix it
