Bug Fixes:

• Fixed the issues related to Cloning and Day zero configuration when managed through Insight Manager App.

Known Issues:

1. 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.
2. HTTPS captive portal redirection doesn’t work for clients using Mozilla Firefox
   Workaround: Clients must use Chrome, IE11, Edge, or Safari browser.
3. 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. 
4. 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.
5. The AP’s Web GUI does not display some visual aspects properly on mobile devices (phones, tablets).
6. 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.

Operational Notes:

1. After upgrading the Firmware through the AP Web GUI, you must clear the browser cache before accessing AP GUI again which has new GUI improvements.
2. Backup configuration done on FW version below V1.2.0.12 FW will not be restored on FW version V1.2.0.12 and above versions only in IE11 browser.
3. AP can be well managed through Insight Manager App V2.42 through iOS and Android OS. Refer release notes while downloading the App from google play store for Andriod and Apple store for iOS.
4. By factory default, the AP will act as a DHCP client to obtain its IP address from DHCP server.
5. If the AP cannot get its IP address through DHCP, The AP’s default IP address is set to 192.168.0.100
6. A wireless client can connect to an AP which is in Factory Default by connecting to the default SSID printed on the product label on the bottom of the AP. The SSID is “NETGEARXXXXXX-SETUP” where XXXXXX = Last 6 digit of MAC address. The default SSID password is “sharedsecret”.
7. Internet access is allowed from the wireless stations when connected to the default SSID and password (SSID: NETGEARXXXXXX-SETUP”, Password: “sharedsecret”) in Day zero mode
8. AP can be accessed using “aplogin.net” only in Day Zero mode from the wireless / wired clients which help at situation where the AP’s IPaddress is not known to configure the AP.
9. When configuring channel as AUTO / Static, AP goes for radar scan period for 1 minute or 10minutes (i.e Channel 120, 124, 128 is selected). AP will not broadcast beacons during the radar scan period so that wireless clients will be able to connect to the SSID configured in AP.
10. The WAC510 has two modes of operation: AP mode and Router mode. In Router mode the AP will acts as a DHCP server, provide NAT and other basic Router/gateway functions. In AP mode, the Access Point operates in Layer 2 bridge mode.
11. AP will come up in Router mode after the backed up config file that has AP operating mode as Router is restored on the AP where it’s currently operating in AP mode and vice versa.
12. The AP can be returned to factory default using the reset button on the side of the AP bottom cover by pressing and holding the button for ~10 secs (Power LED will change from Green to blinking Amber).
13. SNMP / Telnet is disabled by default.
14. Changing the WDS configuration will reboot the AP automatically after applying settings.
15. The Web GUI session timeout is 45 minutes
16. In the following scenarios, the AP is expected to reboot automatically for the configuration to take effect:
    1. Firmware upgrade
    2. Reset factory defaults
    3. Restore configuration
    4. Country change in Day Zero and Day One configuration Wizard
