I have had links go down in remote buildings that feed the backbone connection to the Ubiquiti server controller software. That causes a disconnect to show.
The UAP-AC-LITE UniFi Access Point Enterprise Wi-Fi System from Ubiquiti Networks is a scalable enterprise access point solution designed to be easily deployed and managed. It supports the 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard with speeds of up to 867 Mb/s in the 5 GHz radio band, and up to 300 Mb/s in the 2.4 GHz radio band. The Wi-Fi system offers simultaneous dual band operation with 2 x 2 MIMO technology for each band. It has a range of up to 400' and two Gigabit Ethernet ports. This UniFi Access Point (AP) has a sleek design and can be easily mounted to a ceiling tile or wall, using the included mounting hardware. The Wi-Fi system includes UniFi Controller software that can be installed on a Windows, Mac, or Linux machine within the network, and is easily accessible through a standard Web browser. Using the UniFi Controller software, an Enterprise Wi-Fi network can be quickly configured and administered, without any special training. Real-time status, automatic UAP device detection, map loading, and advanced security options are all seamlessly integrated in the system.
Merely correcting the downed link causes that AP to be recognized and it reconnects to the server and becomes available.
I would think either you can bad communication to the AP or the AP itself has an issue.
Mine will flash GREEN when it is disconnected. You said yours is yellow?!? Yellow (I THINK) means it's not associated - or as Ubiquiti says 'adopted'.

Learning has never been so easy!
In some circumstances there may be a need to manually tell a Unifi AP where to find its controller. This may be needed if you can't provide the host name 'unifi' in the DNS server for the subnet that the APs are located in.
The prerequisite to this process is you must know the IP address of the AP you need to modify. How you accomplish that I leave to you.
3 Steps totalReset Unifi Ap Ac LrStep 1: SSH to your Unifi radio
ssh to ubnt:192.168.1.20 (or whatever the IP address is.)
default password is ubnt, if it something else, I hope you wrote it down when you set it. :) Step 2: Reset to defaults
You must reset the AP to defaults before changing the inform ip address. To do so execute the following command
syswrapper.sh restore-default
This will reboot the radio and disconnect your SSH session. Once it comes back online, you will need to reconnect.
Step 3: Set new inform IP address
Connect to the mca client
mca-cli
Reset Unifi Ap Lite
Now issue the set-inform command with the IP address of your Unifi controller.
set-inform http://192.168.3.2:8080/inform
The AP should connect to the controller within a few seconds and you are set.
My need for this arose when I copied my config from my local Unifi controller to a new one on a VM in a different subnet. The problem I ran into was that DNS for the subnet where the APs were isn't setup to use our internal DNS servers so it wasn't seeing the 'unifi' host in my DNS. Since I didn't have direct control of the router, I had to find a solution until the router could be updated. Thanks to the Ubiquiti forum guys for providing this solution. (see Reference Link)
Hope it was helpful. Header('access-control-allow-origin: *');.
