Additional Information

If somehow you encounter an issue during or after the controller upgrade, it's suggested to contact us with the following info:

  • Omada Controller version (previous and current)
  • Device Model(s), Hardware and Firmware versions
  • (if possible) A copy of the Log file and Backup Config file

 

If you decide to downgrade the controller before reporting the issue to TP-Link, it's suggested to save a copy of the current Log file and Backup Config file before you do that, which could help to investigate and address the issue quickly.

 

>> How to get the Log file and Backup Config file for Omada SDN Controller:

  • If your Windows software controller failed to get launched, please locate the controller installation path for the Log file.

  • If it's not a launch issue, you can export the Log file and Backup Config file in the local network.

    • For Omada Controller v5.8 or later version,

      In the Global View, go to Settings > Maintenance > Backup & Restore > Retained Data Backup, select Settings Only, then click Export for the Backup Config file. On the same page, scroll down for Export for Support, click Export Running Logs for desensitized Log file.

    • For Omada Controller v5.6 or v5.7, 

      Go to Settings > Maintenance > Backup & Restore > Retained Data Backup, select Settings Only, then click Export  for the Backup Config file. On the same page, scroll down for Export for Support, click Export Running Logs for desensitized Log file.

    • For Omada Controller v5.5 or previous version,

      Go to Settings > Maintenance > Backup & Restore > Retained Data Backup, select Settings Only, then click Export for the Backup Config file . Go to Settings > Services > Export Data > Running Log to export the Log file.

Hi @MR.S 

Thanks for your feedback.

 

May I know whether the Internet service was still available? What kind of devices are connecting to the ER8411&ER707-M2?

 

What about the firmware of the ER8411 and ER707-M2? Please make sure they are up-to-date. 

 

BTW, may I also confirm whether the routers can get the WAN IP successfully?

 

Thanks again for testing. Looking forward to your reply.

Internet is available, everything looks and works as it should except ISP Load statistics.
ER8411 gets Public IP from DHCP without problem, ER707-M2 has fixed public WAN ip

 

ER8411 v1.0 Firmware Version:1.2.1 Build 20240308 Rel.75819

Re:Omada SDN Controller_V5.14.20 Pre-release (Released on Apr 12th, 2024)

Will this version allow full 28dBm power on 6GHz radio on the EAP783?

On 5.13.24 even when set to 'High' or explicitly to 28dBm they would only broadcast at 20dBm.

When I upgraded to the pre-release 5.14.11 they broadcast at 23dBm.

 

Both the 2.4 Ghz and 5 GHz bands have and will broadcast at full 28dBm when set to it.

Hi @MrAdministrator 

May I know the version of your EAP783, is it EU version or it is US version? Please also share how did you configure the tx power on EAP and the results you tested.

  @Hank21 

 

They are US models EAP783, V1.6. Just updated to firmware 1.0.10 This behavior also occurred on 1.0.9, however it was 20dBm and 23dBm. Now on 1.0.10 it is 19dBm and 22dBm respectively.

 

I believe I was incorrect previously in thinking controller software affected it. I think the configured channels changed when I changed controller device and version.

 

Configuring the AP via Omada controller in the radio settings, I have set to 160MHz channel width, 28 dBm broadcast power, and tried every PSC channel available.

 

37: 19dBm

53: 19dBm

69: 19 dBm

85: 22dBm

101: 19 dBm

117: 19dBm

133: 19dBm

149: 19dBm

165: 19dBm

181: 19dBm

197: 19dBm

213: 22dBm

 

I confirmed channels that fell within U-NII-5 and U-NII-7 were still broadcasting at this lower power despite being set to 28dBm.

 

It is my understanding that full power should be observed in U-NII-5 and U-NII-7 while 23dBm should be the observed maximum in U-NII-6 and U-NII-8. It seems like something is wrong with regards to determining transmit power based on region.

 

I am located in US and my controller site is configured as US west coast.

 

When I get a chance I am going to forget one AP and configure it standalone to see if the same low broadcast power is observed.

 

Edit: in standalone mode, 2.4 and 6ghz bands dont report transmit power for some reason, only 5ghz. I am unable to tell if the expected 28dBm is achieved in standalone mode.

 

Also through forgetting and re-adopting an AP the other one on channel 165 started to broadcast at 22dBm. So confusing, this is.

Hi @MrAdministrator 

Thanks for feedback.

 

The 6GHz need to be complied to the FCC. Currently our firmware is not support AFC, thus we have implemented that the beacons are transmitted using a single antenna path at 22 dBm. But for actual data transmissions, the 4x4 MIMO antenna allows transmitting at a higher power level of 28 dBm.
