Model: EAP245  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 2.21.0 Build 20200522 Rel. 49688

Good morning.

I have a problem with the Firmware version of my APs. I have 7 APs 2 of them have the Firmware Version 2.3.0 Build 20190731 Rel. 51932 and the other 5 have the Firmware Version 2.21.0 Build 20200522 Rel. 49688.

 

The problem is with the version 2.21 I can't see the users that are conected on the AP when on the version 2.3.0 I can.

 

Version 2.3.0

 

Version 2.21.0

 

Or what version reconmend me to upgrade? 

Since the latest version is EAP245 (EU) _V3_5.0.2_Build 20210303

 

Regards.

@tetsu-kun 

It seems 2.21.0 is too new for this Controller version and they are not compatible.

 

Are they all EAP245 V3? If so, I recommend you upgrade the EAP to the latest version and upgrade the Controller to V4.

Hey

 

Looking at the details and screenshots you have provided I am guessing you are not running these devices via a Controller? Namely they are all stand alone devices?

 

If so I would recommend you update to the latest firmware (5.0.3) as this has been a number of fixes for issues since then, should be an improvement all round.   2.x firmware is now unsupported.

 

However.. if you are running a controller you would need to update the controller to SDN v4 (Firmware 1.8) to support the EAP245 on Firmware 5.x

@Philbert Ok thx both. I will try it and check it to upgrade, the SDN to the version 4.0 and the APs at version 5.x

I'll try and back again if I have problems.

@Philbert I upgrade the controller and tested with 2 AP before; but now the controller says "The device is not current compatible with the controller" XD

I had to upgrade the AP before upgrade the controller, I tested first on my PC before do it where I have the controller and the controller V4.3.5 does not recognize the APs.

 

Well, I had to search other firmware and found the version 2.4.0, I downgraded those 2 AP and now works as the AP with the version 2.3.0, now shows me the users connected.

 

 

Thanks both.

Regards.

Hey

 

Ok so if you have the controller on SDN v4 then you need to manually update the access points also.  

 

If memory serves me correctly EAP firmware 2.4 is for the SDN v3     You  would therefore need to change to a v5 firmware (example below)

 

Remove / Forget the AP and log into it manually using IP.  Do an update to the v5.0.2 firmware and that will move you into the SDN v5 support channel.    Re-Adopt the AP and all should be good again!

 

Pictures below hopefully help you, these are the versions you are after

 

 

 

Controller

 

 

 

AP

 

Hope that helps!
