New Features and Enhancements:
- MDU (multi-dwelling unit) support: MDU can be enabled if you use NAT as the addressing and traffic mode for an SSID.
If the MDU configuration is enabled for an SSID, the AP adds a second Ethernet interface to the SSID NAT configuration for any wired connectivity extension within a unit of the MDU. Both WiFi clients and wired clients receive an IP address in the same subnet that is defined in the SSID for the NAT DHCP server.
- Option to add a subnet mask and lease time for NAT mode
- Option to assign host names to WiFi clients
- Option to log probing clients
Known Issues:
- When a dynamic VLAN (DVLAN) is enabled, changing the management VLAN fails, and an invalid error message is generated.
Workaround: Temporarily disable the DVLAN, change the management VLAN, and then reenable the DVLAN.
- Changes to a NAT SSID configuration might take up to 3 minutes to be applied.
Workaround: Wait at least 3 minutes before connecting any clients.
- The AP stops responding after you first change or enable an Instant Captive Portal and then change or enable a dynamic VLAN (DVLAN) configuration, or the other way around.
Workaround: After enabling the Instant Captive Portal, wait a few minutes before you enable the DVLAN configuration. Or, after enabling the DVLAN configuration, wait a few minutes before you enable 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 MPSK.
- A RADIUS based MAC ACL does not work with multi-PSK and DVLAN.
- With the mDNS Gateway feature enabled, a device that is running Windows might not discover certain printers.
Workaround: Manually add the IP address of the printer on the Windows device.
- 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 page might not be displayed properly.
Workaround: Refresh the page in your web browser.
- Captive portal authentication does not work if you simultaneously change the captive portal and the VLAN configuration for an SSID.
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 the SSID cannot reach each other even if their IP addresses are added to the allowed list.
- 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.
