A method comprising: decoupling, by an Access Controller (AC) that manages a plurality of Access Points (APs) of a private Internet Protocol (IP) network, identities of each AP of a plurality of APs from potentially transient IP addresses of the plurality of APs by assigning a unique identifier to each of the plurality of APs; presenting, by the AC, an AC graphical user interface (GUI) to a network administrator through which commands are provided by the network administrator and through which the network administrator is provided with access to a first AP of the plurality of APs responsive to a command received from the network administrator though the AC GUI and based upon the first AP's assigned unique identifier; and accessing, controlling or debugging, by the AC, the first AP based on the command, wherein the access to the first AP enables a first AP GUI of the first AP through which the network administrator is provided with an ability to issue a plurality of commands to the first AP.
