@Hank21 Could you please upgrade the MongoDB dependency to at least 6.0? This is because it is not possible to install MongoDB 3.0 ... 4.5 to Ubuntu 22.04 or later.
MongoDB's current stable version is 7.0, and 6.0 is the oldest one having support for Ubuntu 22.04.

Hi @kogan，
Did your customer upgrade the controller in local or on the cloud website?
It may just be caused by a brief fluctuation in the network, after which please keep watching to see if there will be any issues similar to the disconnection.

@IIIdefconIII I actually had to move from the OC300 to a Windows Software Controller to get IDS/IPS and I don't believe there is any plan to enable that on the hardware controllers anytime soon. What I was told is that the hardware didn't support that functionality, so maybe the aren't powerful enough. I just got a dedicated desktop for the purpose and set up the controller as a service (which is documented) and updated the BIOS on the PC to always start up after a power loss so it "acts" like a server but was cheap. this has worked just fine for me and now I wish I hadn't bought the OC300 to begin with. IMO they need to release a hardware controller that is more powerful and supports the new advanced features if the OC300/OC200 cannot.

@OrangeStreet Huh?I have an OC200 and it works fine........ cuts your speed alot yes but it's there, you sure you know what your doing? You need to make sure your running the latest beta or a fairly recent release.
I wouldn't go to a software solution for the simple fact if the VM goes down or whatever, your stuffed. Atleast with the OC200 ....... I can always connect to the network and get in anywhere.......
That said, WHERE IS THE WOL ???....... (Wake On LAN). Lots of things still missing from Omada. Even the Ubiquiti's I love how they tell you what alot of the traffic is on the dashboard like Windows Updates or whatever. TP Link needs a whole lot more refinement.
