2025-02-20 13:08:00
Model: EAP245  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 5.2.0

After updating 3x EAP245 (v3.0) to 5.2.0 there are several clients (various sorts, mostly at 2.4ghz) not connecting anymore or losing connection all the time.
I downgraded them to 5.1.0 and all is fine again.
 

I also have 2x EAP225 running at 5.1.6 and they seem to be fine as well.
So I think there is something going on with the 5.2.0 firmware version.

Hi  @dagoosemusic 

 

What kind of clients are having this prooblem?

 

Please compare the SSID encryption before and after the upgrade, this is most likely due to the poor compatibility of these dropped devices with the new encryption method.

I have several Sonoff devices not connecting (mini r4 doesn't connect at all but several others have serious issues), homewizard P1 meter and funny enough also a TP link (tapo c310) camera goes offline as soon as I update. Also my zendure battery system is acting up when I update, loses connection at least once an hour.
Yesterday I updated 1 accespoint again and gave it a full memory clear and adopted again. Same problem, not connecting and after the downgrade to 5.1.0, all fine again.
It's 100% sure something in the firmware.

What new encryption method? There is nu such change in the release notes. Problems like this could be prevented if the release notes would actually provide all necessary information.

 

Please provide release notes with all the actual changes.
