2. The above firmware is applied to EAP225-Wall(EU&US) v2, EAP235-Wall(EU&US) v1, EAP235-Wall(CA) v1.

3. Please be sure you have read the Beta Test Agreement before proceeding!

 

 

Issue Description/Phenomenon:

 

Recently we received feedback that EAP655-Wall | EAP650-Wall connected in series via ETH3 port may cause tagged VLAN failed to be transparently transmitted. Here are the case details.

 

Topology & Setup:

Internet --- Router ---PoE Switch --- AP1, EAP655-Wall (ETH1-3, no VLAN) --->PoE output>--- AP2, EAP650-Wall

EAPs are configured with SSID1(no VLAN), SSID2(no VLAN), and SSID3(VLAN10)

 

Problem:

  • With the above setup, clients failed to receive an IP address in SSID3 on AP2, while clients connected to other SSIDs on AP2 works fine,  and all the three SSIDs on AP1 works fine.
  • If setting a VLAN on the ETH3 port, none of the SSIDs work any more, clients no longer receive an IP address.

 

Related Threads:

Clients on Second Access Point don't get an IP adress with tagged SSID

 

Available Solutions:

 

The issue will be fixed in the subsequent official firmware soon.

Before the new firmware is released to fix the issue, you may upgrade the following Beta firmware to fix the issue temporarily.

 

Beta Firmware Download:

 

EAP650-Wall(EU&US)_V1_1.0.3 Build 20230407 (Beta)

EAP655-Wall(EU&US)_V1_1.0.0 Build 20230330 (Beta)

 

Beta Release Notes:

1. Fixed the casting or streaming issue for EAP655-Wall mentioned in the solution post 604118.

2. Fixed the tagged ETH VLAN issue described in this thread based on firmware EAP650-Wall_V1_1.0.1 Build 20220627, EAP655-Wall_v1_1.0.0 Build 20220719.

3. The above firmware is applied to EAP650-Wall(EU&US) v1, EAP655-Wall(EU&US) v1/v1.60.

4. Please be sure you have read the Beta Test Agreement before proceeding!

 

IMPORTANT NOTICE

  @Fae this worked for me. I have two EAP-655-Wall cascading one of the other. Without this fix I wasn't able to setup the second one properly no matter what settings I tried. Probably because the port setting on the first EAP-655-Wall where overwriting all the VLAN settings.

 

With this fix applied to the first EAP-655-Wall the setup now works and I can set different VLAN for different SSID on the second EAP-655-Wall. 

 

Just as it's not clearly stated in the description the ETH3 port on AP1, which connects to AP2, needs to be set to VLAN "Disabled"

Hello @d0ugmac1 

 

Please ensure that you have properly unzipped the Beta firmware file downloaded from this initial solution post, then upload the .bin file for upgrade. If you still get the upgrade failed error, please provide your current firmware version (Build number) of your EAP235-Wall for further checking.

 

Note: Just confirmed that the beta firmware is suitable for CA version as well.

  @Fae 

 Hi, I tried several times to download the file from the forum post, unpack on a Mac (native and KeKa) and a Win10 PC (7z).  Same failed result each time, "Invalid File"

Hi @Fae, last week I upgraded my five EAP225-Wall access points from the official firmware 'EAP225-Wall(EU)_V2_5.0.3 Build 20210604' to the beta firmware 'EAP225-WALLv2_1.0.0_20221229 (beta)'.

 

Every week the Automatic Upgrade Schedule checks if upgrades are available and installs them. Last night the upgrade (or rather downgrade) to the official firmware 'EAP225-Wall(EU)_V2_5.0.3 Build 20210604' was performed, assuming that this was done because the version number of the beta firmware is v1.0.0 and the version number of the official firmware is v5.0.3, which is higher.

 

 

Why does the official version have version v5.0.3 and the beta version have version v1.0.0 and not v5.0.4, which would have avoided the downgrade?

Thank you for your valuable feedback. I've reported the issue to the developer team for attention, will check the version next time before offering the Beta firmware. If possible, you may disable the Automatic Upgrade Schedule feature to use the Beta firmware. Or if you need a new Beta firmware with the proper firmware version to avoid the downgrade, please feel free to let me know. Sorry for any inconvenience caused!

Hi @Fae, thanks for your response. For now I'm OK to disable the Automatic Upgrade Schedule feature for the EAP225-Wall access points during beta testing.

 

Meanwhile for TP-Link to take this into account in future revision of version numbering, or by changing the mechanism of the Automatic Upgrade Schedule.
