trying the Force AP Lock   doesnt really work

 

if you set it to say a Certain AP  on a device and then you click reconnect button  in the Omada..  it will still conect to the other AP even with the one chosen to lock  is 2 feet away from the device

rebooting omada software  the devices, the eaps,  removing the 2nd eap to force it onto  renamed eap.. doesnt help  if you remove the 2nd eap  thats not 2 feet away..  so it forces to connect to the renamed one.. but when you re add the 2nd eap650  and if you if the device disconnects or reboot it it will jump back to the other EAP  not the one is forced...  i havent tried uninstalling and re install the program.. . as i dont see a Factory Reset the Omada Software.. to delete it so all i know is uninstall delete all exisit content and re install just to be able to Factory Reset it

 

 

another bug is  if you happen to lock aps with a certain AP  but after you decide to rename the AP  from the mac address of the EAP650s  so you can read it better... the locks are still of the old Name  so when you rename an AP  it doesnt rename all locations of that Address.. and then it jumps to the next AP..   

so 

example

11-11-11-11  if thats the AP and you have linked 30 devices to 11-11-11-11

 

and if you decide to rename 11-11-11-11  to AP1    all 30 devices are still pointed to 11-11-11-11  and jumps to the next AP

it will not goto AP1  so if you rename 11-11-11-11 to AP1  then 30 devices  Force Locked AP  should also be renamed from 11-11-11-11 to AP1

 

 

and a FEATURE REQUEST...  be a button  to Enable Omada Software to be Enabled as a Windows Service and setup Firewall rules..  the pain of doing it with the nssm and then setting up Firewall rules to get it to work... be nice  just a Check Box  to enable and Disable it as a Windows Server

Hello @comet424 

 

Kind note that the Lock to AP feature requires to upgrade the EAP to the adapted firmware, which is not available yet.

Isn't there supposed to be a firmware release for this feature?

Hi @Fae ,

Any update on the FW for the EAPs needed to make this feature work?

I have a couple of EAP660HD and an EAP653, will those be compatible with this feature?

Thanks and Regards

Any update yet? I've three AP's and for some reason, devices on the other side of the house insist on connecting to the furtherest AP all the time and not the one in the same room!

Lock to AP not working with EAP245 v3 (5.0.6) and EAP225-Outdoor (5.1.0) Any idea when does the TP Link will be releasing the firmware for these 2 devices to support the newer Lock to AP feature in the Omada Controller. It will be very useful to Lock the IoT Devices that sometimes keep connecting to the APs far away from them instead of connecting to the nearest one.

 This is why we need the lock to AP sorted ASAP! My front security camera insists on connecting to an AP that is on the otherside of the house and ignoring one that is no more than 3m away! As you can see, the connection is very dbm is horrendous!

 

I have even tried setting dbm limits on the AP's:

 

But this has not made any difference.

Since this relies on EAP firmware, does it require ALL EAPs to support it? I assume so.

 

It would be useful to know which EAP models will get the feature and which will not.

While we're waiting, could anyone clarify exactly how this feature is intended to work? I'm particularly interested in understanding what happens when the AP to which the client is locker goes offline. I would assume (hope) that in that situation, the client will be allowed to join another AP and as soon as the "home-AP" comes back online, a reconnect will be triggered. Is that how it is designed?
