Known Issues:

  • Due to the removal of U-NII-1 and U-NII-2A channels from the WAX610Y in Europe to meet the CE regulatory requirement, customers might face issues with the mesh formation when the root AP is operating in channels U-NII-1 or U-NII-2A and the WAX610Y is set up as an extender.
    Workaround: The root AP must operate in channels other than U-NII-1 or U-NII-2A in the 5GHz radio band.
  • Some clients might not display an auto pop-up while connecting to a guest SSID, or there might be a delay before the splash page displays.
    Workaround: Use a web browser to access the Internet.
  • An Intel Wireless AC 9560 client on the Windows 10 operating system can fail to connect when both PMF and 802.11r are enabled on the SSID.
    Workaround: Disable PMF configuration.
  • Data path and client connectivity issues might be observed when the access point is operating on a DFS channel where the channel width is set to 80MHz.
    Workaround: Change the channel width to 40 MHz.
  • Some older generation iOS devices with iOS version 14.4.2 might fail to connect to a WPA3 personal SSID.
    Workaround: Update the device to the latest iOS version and change the SSID security to WPA3/WPA2 Personal.
  • MAC ACL does not work as expected when MAC Randomization is enabled for wireless clients.
    Workaround: Disable MAC Randomization on the clients.
  • Client connectivity and throughput-related interoperability issues can occur with certain Windows, Android, and iOS client OS versions when WPA3/WPA2 mixed mode security is enabled on the SSID.
    Workaround: Update 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 the Band Steering feature is enabled.
    Workaround: Disable this feature if client interoperability issues are observed.
  • Some special characters are not supported in Instant Captive Portal SSIDs.
    Workaround: We recommend against using special characters in the SSID name.
  • In some cases, wirelessly connected to NAT mode SSID are not able to reach the internet when URL filtering is enabled.
    Workaround: Avoid NAT mode SSID and URL filtering combination.
