@Vincent-TP

All of them, sir. Client connections are reliable, except for the Omada APP, which is still buggy or more like not compatible to V5.15

ok I'm going to join this gravy train. btw @Vincent-TP

i see what you mean now about the different version numbers this is my first time coming here on my phone.

Anyway. I'm running Debian latest stable. and i will upgrade to the latest beta.

modem <---> js l2 managed switch <----> proxmox ve latest non enterprise repo <---->

[virtual network stack]

vswitch bridge port1 (slaved physical card1 port) <-> pfsense vm pulls isp dhcp off the modem .

vswitch bridge port 2 (slaved physical card2 port) <-> pfsense lan with more vms and configured vlans to seperate my wifi traffic from my wired traffic and .more.

so far it works fine but i will upgrade and see how it goes.

Hi @n0izee

Welcome to the Omada world.

If you encounter any interesting issues during the upgrade or while using the beta version, documenting them in detail and sharing your experiences on relevant forums or communities would be very helpful. This could assist other users who might be considering a similar upgrade and also provide valuable feedback to the Debian developers.

@Vincent-TP

Feature Request: Client Latency Test Option

Hello TP-Link Team,

I’d like to propose a new feature that could greatly improve the user experience: adding an Online Client Latency Test option.

I know there is already a similar feature available through Network Tools where we can manually select the gateway, switch, or EAP and type in the IP/domain to perform a ping test. However, having a dedicated, streamlined option to directly test client latency would save time and make it far more user-friendly.

Benefits of This Feature:

1. Improved User Experience - Users could directly see client latency without navigating to separate tools.

2. Real-time Monitoring - Instantly view current latency data between the client and network.

Integrating this feature into the main interface would make network management smoother and enhance the overall user experience. Thank you for considering this improvement—it would be a fantastic addition!

Hello, I have the same issue with "Omada App and Client does not exists". Any temporary fix until new version will be released?

@Vincent-TP Given the many issues discovered in the v5.15.6.4 pre-release, is there any ETA on the next (pre-) release with fixes given it's been over a month so far?

Normally, The Internet vlanId is automatically assigned when the device is adopted.

If this is pre-config, you may input any value between 1-4086 as long as it doesn't duplicate with LAN, virtual wan, iptv custom configuration (if any) ID.

Note: The default LAN ID is 1.

@Vincent-TP

cannot make any settings on the WAN interface from the web management console, changes can be made from the mobile app without problems.

Do you know when there will be an updated prerelease with all the bug fixes?
