New Features and Enhancements:

• Enhancements for optimal channel selection and transmit power.
• Support for up to 64 dynamic VLANs (DVLANs).
• System stability enhancements.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixes the issue where low throughput occurs when the AP uses the default management VLAN, and clients are connected to an SSID that is configured with a non-default VLAN.
• Fixes the issue where the client count is not displayed correctly on the Insight dashboard and the connected clients page does not load if the user name includes a backslash (\) character.
• Fixes the issue where the dynamic VLAN (DVLAN) feature does not work for clients that are connected to an AP that operates as a node (formerly called extender).
• Fixes the issue where the L2 security feature does not work if the AP operates as a node.
• Fixes the issue where an AP that operates as a node does not receive an IP address and does not have Internet access after you change the management VLAN to a non-default VLAN.
• Fixes the issue where you cannot create an mDNS policy for an SSID if the SSID name contains special characters.
• Fixes the issue where an SSID does not start broadcasting at the scheduled time.
• Fixes the issue where an authentication pop-up window does not display for clients of a captive portal if the mDNS feature is enabled.
• Fixes the issue where you cannot disable the LEDs.
• Fixes multiple issues with the NIC feature.

Known Issues:

• If you change the channel configuration from static mode to automatic mode, the AP does not run an Auto Channel Selection (ACS) scan to select the optimal channel. This situation might cause connectivity or throughput issues for connected clients.
  Workaround: If connectivity or throughput issues occur, reboot the AP.
• A RADIUS MAC ACL does not work with multi-PSK and a dynamic VLAN (DVLAN).
• mDNS: A device running Windows might not discover certain printers.
  Workaround: Manually add the IP address of the printer on the Windows device.
• mDNS: 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 page in your web browser.
• Radio information on the AP dashboard might not load.
• Radio information on the AP dashboard might not load.
  Workaround: Refresh the page in your web browser.
• Captive portal authentication does not work if you simultaneously change the captive portal and VLAN configurations for an SSID.
  Workaround: Change the captive portal configuration and VLAN configuration one at a time for an SSID.
• When client isolation is enabled on an SSID, clients connected to the same SSID cannot reach each other even if their IP addresses are added to the allowed list.
• Intel AX210 client connectivity might encounter disruptions when roaming.
• Clients with the latest iOS version might not be able to roam successfully when both WPA3 security and 802.11r roaming are enabled on the same SSID.
  Workaround: Do not enable WPA3 and 802.11r roaming together.
• 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.
