- Clients connecting to an SSID with both Client Isolation and URL Filtering enabled on a non-management VLAN cannot connect to the Internet. Workaround: Do not enable both client isolation and URL filtering on the same SSID.
- Instant Captive Portal feature does not work for clients connected to a OWE SSID on a newly onboarded access point. Workaround: Re-apply the Captive Portal configuration from Insight.
- Issues in Insight Instant Mesh WiFi can cause the access point to operate on a non-optimal channel. Workaround: Configure the access point to use a static channel.
- Client connectivity and throughput-related interoperability issues can occur with certain Windows, Android and iOS client OS versions, or when WPA3/WPA2 mixed mode security is enabled on the SSID. Workaround: Upgrade to the latest available Windows/Android/iOS OS version, and update the WiFi client to the latest driver.
- Interoperability issues can occur with certain clients when Band Steering is enabled. Workaround: Disable this feature if client interoperability issues are observed.
