Keep holding the Mode button for roughly 20 to 30 seconds until the AP's LED panel turns solid red or amber, then release it.
Given that the 3600 series was introduced around 2012 and the 3700 series in 2014, you might ask: why use this firmware in 2024/2025? if platform

Hold down the button on the back of the AP while plugging in the ethernet power (PoE).
Network engineers often use this specific file to convert "Lightweight" (WLC-managed) APs into "Autonomous" units. This is a common practice for reusing older hardware in home labs or small office setups.
