Firmware Version: 1.5.0 Build 20240830 Rel. 63168

hi all,

 

just realised - when I shut down the windows software controller, the whole WLAN is not available anymore till the controller isn't started again. 

observed while upgrading the controller from 5.14.32.3 to 5.15.6.7 - on ther other side, the WLAN wasn't available at previous update too, but it didn't catch my real attention.

internet on wired clients is OK.

 

I have 3 EAP615-Wall - all connected via SG2008P switch (FW: 3.20.1) to ER605 router FW: 2.2.6)

Hi  @ZoloNN 

 

WLAN broadcast doesn't require the controller running all the time.

 

What do you mean the "whole WLAN is not available anymore"? Please give us more details.

1. Is the SSID showing on the wifi list?

2. All wireless clients can't see the SSID?

3. Do you configure portal authentication for the WLAN?

4. If use a scanner, can you scan the SSID?

5. Is the LED status normal?

Hi @Vincent-TP,

 

re 1: negative 

re 2: yes (connection lost on my Pixel 6a and Lenovo T14 Gen5)

re 3: no portal is configured/in use

re 4: scanner (WiFi Analyser Premium on Pixel 6a) shows no SSIDs - not even hidden/unidentified one

re 5: LED on EAP is white

I am still on Controller 5.13 and my EAP615-wall happily continues to work when my controller takes an unexpected nap...  As do the meshed EAP225-outdoors.
