Abstract: Example implementations relate to an access point for a wireless local area network (WLAN). In an example, an access point comprises a wireless communication apparatus to communicate with a wireless device to provide access to the network, and a management module to determine a loss of connectivity to the network by the access point, switch the first access point into a maintenance mode in response to determining the loss of connectivity to the network by the access point, and cause the wireless communication apparatus to broadcast a message in the WLAN indicating that the first access point is in the maintenance mode to cause a network device in a radio frequency (RF) neighborhood of the first access point to receive the message and report to a network management node of the WLAN that the first access point is in the maintenance mode.
