Bug Fixes:
- Fixes an issue where access point with firmware version V10.2.0.17 or lower fails to boot up correctly after firmware upgrade
- Fixes a low throughput issue when AP management VLAN is configured to a non-default VLAN
- Fixes an issue where clients connected to different NAT mode networks can reach each other
- Fixes an issue where client isolation does not work when the AP’s IP address is reconfigured from static IP to dynamic IP, and vice versa
- Fixes an issue where a 6 GHz SSID stops broadcasting after any configuration change
Insight only:
- Fixes incorrect Cloud LED behavior when using the Insight Locate Device tool
- Fixes an issue where the SSID stops broadcasting after restarting the AP through Insight
Known Issues:
- UI may not redirect automatically to the login page after firmware upgrade.
Workaround: Refresh the page in your web browser. - Captive portal authentication does not work if Captive Portal configuration and VLAN configuration for a SSID are changed at the same time.
Workaround: Change Captive Portal configuration and VLAN configuration one at a time for a given SSID. - When Client Isolation is enabled on a SSID, clients connected to same SSID fail to reach each other even though their IP addresses are added to the allowed list.
- Fast roaming (802.11r) may not work for clients connected to a SSID where M-PSK is enabled.
- The wireless 1 SSID might not broadcast after Day Zero configuration if the AP has a static IP address and a non-default security type.
Workaround: Do not change the SSID security mode during Day Zero configuration. Wait to change SSID security until Day Zero configuration is complete, and then reboot the AP. - Radio information on the AP dashboard might not display.
Workaround: Refresh the browser UI. - AP does not fall back to the configured DFS channel after the required wait period following a RADAR event detection.
- Clients fail to reach to the Internet when connected to a NAT mode SSID with non-default management VLAN and URL filtering enabled.
Workaround: Disable URL filtering if NAT mode is enabled. - Some clients may experience connectivity issues on 5 GHz higher band channels and may switch to 2.4 GHz band.
Workaround: Configure 5GHz lower band channels. - Some iOS devices with specific iOS versions might fail to connect to a WPA3 enterprise SSID.
Workaround: Upgrade the device to the latest iOS version. - Some clients might not display a pop-up window when 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. - aplogin.com and aplogin.net might not redirect to the login page on some Android clients with specific Chrome browser versions.
Workaround: Enter the access point's IP address to access the login page. - Some older generation iOS devices with iOS version 14.4.2 might fail to connect to an SSID using WPA3 Personal security.
Workaround: Change the SSID security to WPA3/WPA2 Personal.
