Known Issues:

- When saving the logs in IE11 Browser, the log file opens within the browser window instead of asking to save the logs to a file. Workaround: Press CTRL + S to save logs to a file and click browser “Back” button to go back to the AP’s log page.
- HTTPS captive portal redirection doesn’t work for clients using Mozilla Firefox. Workaround: Clients must use Chrome, IE11, Edge, or Safari browser.
- Intermittently IP address details for the associated Wireless clients are not displayed under the Monitoring -> Wireless Client page. Workaround: To allow the IP address of the clients to be displayed, ping the Access Point’s IP address from the client, or log into the AP’s Web UI from the client. The AP will then learn and display the client in the monitoring -> Wireless client page.
- APPLY, CANCEL, Captive portal PREVIEW button will be greyed out intermittently while doing any configuration across different configuration pages. Workaround: The user need to refresh the browser or do select/deselect or Edit any other parameters.
- The AP’s Web GUI does not display some visual aspects properly on mobile devices (phones, tablets).
- WDS link establishment has issues only in 2.4GHz radio with 40MHz channel width. Workaround: WDS link works well with 2.4GHz radio with 20MHz channels width. Recommend to have WDS link in 5GHz radio which gives high throughput then 2.4GHz radio.

About Access Point Firmware:

If you update the Access Point (AP) firmware, your device can benefit from changes that fix multiple issues encountered by wireless clients, correct different user interface problems, add various functionalities, and include support for newly developed protocols.

Before performing this task, we recommend that you read and understand all the installation steps, because there are many AP models and manufacturers available. Each producer strives to make the procedure as simple as possible, but there are cases when it's anything but that.

It is also advisable that you apply a new access point firmware in a steady power environment (UPS unit will satisfy this need), using an Ethernet cable rather than a wireless connection. The latter can be easily interrupted.

With this in mind, if you wish to apply this version, click the download button and install the package on your access point. Remember to check back with our website as often as possible so that you don't miss a single new release.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
