THANK YOU everyone for your help.
I added the MAC address to my dhcp server, and then followed Mary's
solution:
Solution from TAC was to ssh to AP:
Debug capwap console cli
Capwap ap controller ip address {IP_of_WLC}
Is now working as should! Glad we only bought a handful of these.

This sounds very much like the problem we had with 20+ 2702I-E-K9 APs.
It's a bug in the firmware - no idea how it got through testing...

Process was...
- Get MAC address of AP into your DHCP server
- Boot AP
- Using serial

I am trying to deploy the 2702E AP's with 5508 wireless controllers and am
seeing the following error:
Could not discover WLC. Either IP address is not assigned or assigned IP
is wrong. Renewing DHCP IP. It will receive an IP address, and then

2702s have had a number of issues, both I and E models depending on when they
were manufactured. There were a couple of months where APs were getting a bad
