Known Issues:

• Due to the removal of U-NII-1 and U-NII-2A channels from the WAX610Y in Europe to meet the CE regulatory requirement, customers might face issues with the mesh formation when the root AP is operating in channels U-NII-1 or U-NII-2A and the WAX610Y is set up as an extender.
  Workaround: The root AP must operate in channels other than U-NII-1 or U-NII-2A in the 5GHz radio band.
• Some clients might not display an auto pop-up while connecting to a guest SSID, or there might be a delay before the splash page displays.
  Workaround: Use a web browser to access the Internet.
• An Intel Wireless AC 9560 client on the Windows 10 operating system can fail to connect when both PMF and 802.11r are enabled on the SSID.
  Workaround: Disable PMF configuration.
• Data path and client connectivity issues might be observed when the access point is operating on a DFS channel where the channel width is set to 80MHz.
  Workaround: Change the channel width to 40 MHz.
• Some older generation iOS devices with iOS version 14.4.2 might fail to connect to a WPA3 personal SSID.
  Workaround: Update the device to the latest iOS version and change the SSID security to WPA3/WPA2 Personal.
• MAC ACL does not work as expected when MAC Randomization is enabled for wireless clients.
  Workaround: Disable MAC Randomization on the clients.
• Client connectivity and throughput-related interoperability issues can occur with certain Windows, Android, and iOS client OS versions when WPA3/WPA2 mixed mode security is enabled on the SSID.
  Workaround: Update to the latest available Windows/Android/iOS OS version, and update the WiFi client to the latest driver.
• Interoperability issues can occur with certain clients when the Band Steering feature is enabled.
  Workaround: Disable this feature if client interoperability issues are observed.
• Some special characters are not supported in Instant Captive Portal SSIDs.
  Workaround: We recommend against using special characters in the SSID name.
• In some cases, wirelessly connected to NAT mode SSID are not able to reach the internet when URL filtering is enabled.
  Workaround: Avoid NAT mode SSID and URL filtering combination.
