Enhancements:

• The AP transmit power (in dBm) is now displayed in the local browser interface and in NETGEAR Insight.
• Probe requests from clients that do not associate are now logged in syslog.
• Load balancing alarms now include the reason why a client is denied a connection to the AP.
• The AP now prevents client connectivity issues while the AP scans for neighboring APs.
• All types of traffic are now blocked for a client that is connected to a captive portal SSID before web authentication is complete. (In earlier releases, only HTTP traffic was blocked.)

Bug Fixes:

• Fixes the issue where clients that are connected to a captive portal SSID can access the Internet without web authentication.
• Fixes the issue where clients that are connected to a captive portal SSID are unable to open the authentication page after roaming.
• Fixes the issue where the Captive Portal feature does not work if client Isolation is enabled on an SSID.
• Fixes the issue where packet loss occurs for clients that are connected to a guest SSID while roaming between different APs.
• Fixes various stability issues that are related to the Captive Portal feature.
• Fixes the issue where “ol_ath_node_alloc” kernel errors occur on the AP.
• Fixes the issue where the AP can reboot because insufficient memory is available.
• Fixes the issue where “Internal Error” pop-up messages display after you enable the Multi Pre-Shared Key (Multi PSK), and dynamic VLAN (DVLAN) features.

Known Issues:

• Changes to a NAT SSID configuration can take two to three minutes to apply.
  Workaround: Wait at least 3 minutes before connecting any clients.
• Facebook Wi-Fi authentication does not work because Facebook has discontinued the support for this feature.
  Workaround: Use the Instant Captive Portal feature or the basic Captive Portal feature.
• The captive portal splash page might display the error message "ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS" while connecting to a captive portal that is enabled on an SSID.
  Workaround: Clear the browser cache.
• 802.11r roaming does not work between an AP that runs firmware version 10.5.0.x and another AP that runs an older firmware version at the same Insight network location.
  Workaround: Upgrade all APs at an Insight network location to the latest firmware version.
• The AP stops responding after changing or enabling an Instant Captive Portal and then changing or enabling a dynamic VLAN (DVLAN) configuration, or the other way around.
  Workaround: After enabling the Instant Captive Portal, wait a few minutes before enabling the DVLAN configuration. Or, after enabling the DVLAN configuration, wait a few minutes before enabling the Instant Captive Portal.
• Clients connected to a captive portal that is configured on an SSID might not see the splash page for authentication when the VLAN of the SSID is the same as the management VLAN, a VLAN that is configured as a DVLAN, or a VLAN that has a Multi Pre-Shared Key (Multi PSK) configured.
  Workaround: For the SSID on which the captive portal is configured, use the default VLAN or a unique VLAN that is not used as the management VLAN, that is not a DVLAN, or that does not use Multi PSK.
• A RADIUS based MAC ACL does not work with Multi PSK and DVLAN.
• With the mDNS Gateway feature enabled, a device running Windows might not discover certain printers.
  Workaround: Manually add the IP address of the printer on the Windows device.
• With the mDNS Gateway feature enabled, even though Apple AirPlay services are discoverable, they might not be accessible.
• Your web browser might not redirect automatically to the login page after a firmware upgrade.
  Workaround: Refresh the web browser.
• Radio information on the AP Dashboard page might not be displayed properly.
  Workaround: Refresh the web browser.
• Captive portal authentication does not work if the captive portal and the VLAN configuration for an SSID are changed simultaneously.
  Workaround: Change either the captive portal configuration or the VLAN configuration for an SSID and save the changes. Then go back to the SSID and make the other configuration changes.  
• When client isolation is enabled for an SSID, clients that are connected to this SSID cannot reach each other even if their IP addresses are added to the allowed list.
• Clients that use the Intel AX210 might encounter disruptions when roaming.
• Video streaming to multiple clients does not work properly if there are more than eight clients in a single multicast group.
• If clients experience connectivity issues on the higher band channels of the 5 GHz radio and subsequently switch to the 2.4 GHz radio, they might experience lower throughput.
  Workaround: Configure lower band channels on the 5 GHz radio.
• Some newer IoT devices might experience issues connecting to the AP.
  Workaround: Upgrade the IoT devices to the latest driver version and try again. If security is set to WPA3 or WPA2/WPA3 mixed mode, change it to WPA2 mode, and try again.
