I think I tricked the device via telnet. Rather than being directly connected to device console, I accessed via telnet and ran reload. It prompted me to confirm and after confirming, I was prompted confirm again since it was unable to verify any config changes had occurred. It seemed to hang without accepting confirmation. After a few minutes, I closed the command window. When I reopened the command window and re-initiated telnet to device, it auto-switched to the "switch" (whereas it was previously the "router"). So, now my waps are working again. However, I need to upgrade my firmware on the device. Now that my device is in Switch partition, I will try the multiple combinations of username/pwd to see if any match. Then I will be able to upgrade.
