The Omada "Lock to AP" is currently not cleared when the AP the client is locked to is removed from Omada ('Forget This Device'). This is not good - clients will then be unable to connect at all.

Omada should automatically clear all 'Lock to AP' settings for the given AP as part of the AP 'Forget the Device' process.

Leaving it to the user is not good. It burned me, and I'm not alone. e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/TPLink_Omada/comments/19fe3ch/caution_about_using_lock_to_ap_functionality/

Yes - it's hard to identify what clients have a lock to AP configuration. I am working around this by adding Dhcp reservations for all locked clients with a -lockap suffix added to the client user name
