NOTE: Before upgrading to 3.0.4.0, please see the upgrade process in detail. If you are using a NETGEAR access point managed by wireless controller (WC7520, WC7600 or WC9500), do NOT upgrade to this firmware, as this will revert your managed AP back to standalone mode and the AP would no longer be managed by your wireless controller.
Version 3.0.4.0 will only support the WNAP210v2. Confirm the model of your AP by checking the product name appears as WNAP210v2. Do not upgrade if your AP is WNAP210.

New Features:

• Option to download AP logs from local access point UI even when it is managed by Business central manager.

Bug Fixes

• AP GUI Hangs when configuring hotspot.
• Auto Channel calculation improvements in business central mode.
• UI does not force default password to be changed on factory reset.
• Fixed false notifications of Max clients exceeded even when it was not.
  .

Known issues

• Rouge AP scanning may not list neighbor APs that are on different channels other than what AP is on.

NOTES:

1. The default IP address of the AP is 192.168.0.236
2. In the following scenarios AP is expected to reboot automatically for the configuration to take effect:
   1. Change Country/Region
   2. After Firmware upgrade
   3. After Restore Configuration Settings
   4. Reset factory defaults
   5. After first configurations download from BCWM portal.
3. With Rogue AP and more than 2 VAPs (security profiles) enabled, the beacon interval of the AP will be automatically updated for better performance of the Rogue AP algorithm.
   We recommend not to reconfigure the beacon interval below the suggested value. Anything above the suggested value is fine.
   1. 1 or 2 VAPs enabled, beacon interval is 100ms
   2. 3 VAPs enabled, beacon interval is 41ms x 3 = 123ms
   3. 4 VAPs enabled, beacon interval is 41ms x 4 = 164ms
   4. 5 VAPs enabled, beacon interval is 41ms x 5 = 205ms
   5. 6 VAPs enabled, beacon interval is 41ms x 6 = 246ms
   6. 7 VAPs enabled, beacon interval is 41ms x 7 = 287ms
   7. 8 VAPs enabled, beacon interval is 41ms x 8 = 328ms

4. Product Registration feature is available in this build. This feature allows the user to register the product with NETGEAR for better support. The product registration is available in two methods.
   In the first method, the product registration popup window will automatically open if the internet connection is available and the device serial number is not registered with NETGEAR.
