Bug Fixes

• Fixed issue that passwords are stored in clear text format.
• Fixed issue that missing authentication for critical functions. Affected functions include clearing the log file, or start/stop a packet capture.
• Fixed issue that authentication bypass for in some cases. When session check fails by PHP script "downloadFile.php", contents of the device configuration/log files may be allowed to download without authentication.
• Fixed issue that it’s unable to set shared Key as network authentication and passphrase other than alphabets are not allowed.
• Fixed issue that reset password is not taking effect if some special characters are used.

Known Issues

1. Some times when neighbours Access Points available nearby are more than 64 then the Access Point won’t scan neighbours Access Points.
2. The data traffic over WDS will not happen with WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK authentication when “Enable Client association” option is disabled.

Notes

1. The default IP address of the AP is 192.168.0.100
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
   
   In all the other conditions AP is not supposed to reboot automatically

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 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
