Known Issues & Limitations

NOTES:

In all the other conditions AP is not supposed to reboot automatically

1. The default IP address of the AP is 192.168.0.237
2. In the following scenarios AP is expected to reboot automatically for the configuration to take affect:
   • Change Country/Region
   • After Firmware upgrade
   • After Restore Configuration Settings
   • Reset factory defaults
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 reconfiguring the beacon interval below the suggested value. Anything above the suggested value is fine.
   • 1 or 2 VAPs enabled, beacon interval is 100ms
   • 3 VAPs enabled, beacon interval is 41ms x 3 = 123ms
   • 4 VAPs enabled, beacon interval is 41ms x 4 = 164ms
   • 5 VAPs enabled, beacon interval is 41ms x 5 = 205ms
   • 6 VAPs enabled, beacon interval is 41ms x 6 = 246ms
   • 7 VAPs enabled, beacon interval is 41ms x 7 = 287ms
   • 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.
