eap772 v1 and v2 issues
I have a test Omada site with two access points eap772 v1 and v2.
eap772 v1 - 1.0.14 Build 20240801 Rel. 78844
eap772 v2 - 1.2.0 Build 20241128 Rel. 38447
I see different memory utilization when no clients are connected to any of the points for a long time.
eap772 v1 - memory usage 18%
eap772 v2 - memory usage 42%
What is the hardware difference between eap772 v1 and v2 (may be v1 has more RAM)?
Is there a plan to fix an issues with flagship access points (wifi7)? I mean that when MLO is on there is serious degradation in the radio signal (Wifi coverage)-tested on Intel BE200 and wifi 6E phones.
When MLO is on - access point extremely hot.
When MLO is on - roaming does not work.
End users should not be a Testers for a company as big as Tp-Link.

Hi @g2_ufo
Thank you for reaching out to the TP-Link Community and for providing detailed information about your Omada setup with the EAP772 v1 and v2 access points. We appreciate your thorough testing.
Regarding the memory utilization difference between the EAP772 v1 and v2, we understand your concern. While I don't have specific details on the hardware differences, I can confirm that during the development and testing of the v2, we conducted extensive performance evaluations to ensure that the v2's performance would not be inferior to the v1. Please be assured that any changes made were intended to improve or maintain the overall user experience.
Regarding the Wi-Fi coverage when connecting to MLO SSID, it is possible to connect to 6G. Under the same transmission power, the wireless range of 2.4G is longer than that of 5G and 6G.
Regarding roaming with MLO enabled, this is an area we are actively developing. Currently, there is no unified industry standard for MLO-based roaming, which presents a development challenge. We are committed to providing seamless roaming functionality and are closely monitoring industry developments in this area. Please stay tuned for future updates.
In the meantime, we recommend ensuring that your Intel BE200 and Wi-Fi 6E phones have the latest drivers and firmware installed. Also, please consider adjusting the transmit power settings on your access points to see if that helps mitigate the heat generation.

I don't use 2.4Ghz, only 5 and 6 Ghz. The client devices are located at a distance of 5-10 meters from the access point without obstacles. At the same time, the signal quality degrades over time and can reach the point where phones switch to the mobile Internet. As soon as I turn off the MLO, the problem disappears and the wi-fi signal is restored. I use only the maximum power, because 5 and 6 Ghz have a large attenuation in the premises. There were no heating issues with the EAP670 (yes, I know it doesn't support MLO).
I really hope for the developers, because it looks like a bug.
