Resolved Issues

Here are the resolved issues for the TQ7403 access point version 10.0.5-0.2:

An unexpected reboot would occasionally occur when MFP(IEEE802.11w) was enabled.
With Channel Blanket, if handover with a wireless client was performed repeatedly, it would occasionally become impossible for the AP to communicate with wireless clients.
An AP would sometimes unexpected reboot when Airtime Fairness was enabled.
Band steering would sometimes not function properly after the wireless LAN controller applied the AWC calculation results.
The AP would reboot if 13 or more VAPs, across all radios, were enabled.
Wireless connection to specific VAPs would sometimes fail after the AP was startup or when applying settings.

Known Issues

Here are the known issues for the TQ7403 access point version 10.0.5-0.2

The Radar Detecting Channel List is cleared when a radio setting is changed.
The LAN port takes approximately 30 seconds to start communications after it links up.
The LAN port on the access point that is powered from the AC adapter takes approximately one minute to link up when the Ethernet cable is disconnected and connected.
The access point transmits the following illegal frames to the Ethernet port on the link partner when PORT2 is in the Cascade mode:
- The Source MAC address and Destination MAC addresses are the same.
- The Source MAC Address is a broadcast address.
On the Legacy Rates on the Advanced Settings page for Radios, you must deselect rates lower than the selected minimum basic rate.
- The basic rate for Radio 1 can be 1, 2, 5.5, or 11.
- The basic rate for Radio 2 can be 6, 12, or 24.
On the Neighbor AP page in Monitoring, the security is displayed as WEP even when the security is set to OSEN. OSEN is a security option and can be selected when Passpoint is enabled.
Communications via IPv6 fail on VAPs with Dynamic VLAN enabled when IP auto-configuration of IPv6 Router Advertisement is enabled.
Even when only the primary RADUIS server is specified, a following log might be issued: “RADIUS No response from Authentication server IP ADDRESS:PORT - failover.”
If a wireless client in the power saving mode does not respond to the access point, it disconnects the wireless client even before the inactivity timer expires.
Fast roaming IEEE802.11r with MAC Access Control and Distributed System cannot be enabled at the same time.
The LAN port on the access point goes down for three seconds when a configuration is being applied by either Vista Manager EX or the Device GUI.
Vista Manager EX occasionally fails to manage the access point right after the access point boots up.
Packet losses or communication delay may occur for approximately ten seconds when Neighbor AP Detection is enabled. Leave Neighbor AP Detection disabled if you need to avoid the communication interruption.
The access point with Management VLAN Tag enabled and VLAN ID set to 1 continues to communicate for several minutes even after the VLAN setting of the port on the switch connected to the access point is changed from Tagged 1 to Untagged 1.
Single-byte spaces can be entered in the URL field for Captive Portal.
The walled garden wildcard entry is case sensitive.
When IEE802.11k is enabled, for some access points with Hidden SSID enabled, information is not shared correctly.
A wireless client's RX rate is shown as rounded down on Vista Manager EX.
If an IP address is assigned from a DHCP server with a DHCP lease time of 1 minute or less, the AMF guest node feature will not work.
[AWC-CB] The AP may reboot when a network loop occurs.
[AWC-CB] When the AP disconnects a wireless client by “Disconnection No ACK” after hand-over, the AP does not send deauth frame to Radio3's VAP.
[AWC-CB] The AP will sometimes output an error log which includes “softirq: huh, entered softirq”.
It may take up to one minute per wireless interface for the number of connected clients to be reflected by the MIB value atkkWiAcAPInfoNumOfSTA.
An AP will very occasionally reboot if the power is cycled on and off several times.
A beacon will be transmitted with maximum power even when the transmission output power on Radio1 or Radio3 is set to "Middle".

Limitations

Here are the limitations for version 10.0.5-0.2:

Wireless Distribution System (WDS) and MU-MIMO / OFDMA cannot be enabled at the same time.

Here are specifications on the access point with Channel Blanket (AWC-CB):

Note

The access point will begin a deliberate reboot when a configuration from Vista Manager EX using Channel Blanket (AWC-CB) is applied. The access point will reboot in the following scenarios:

Vista Manager EX applies the Channel Blanket profile settings to the access point for the first time.
Vista Manager EX applies the Channel Blanket profile settings to an access point that has been configured as a multi-channel access point.
Vista Manager EX removes the access point from Channel Blanket.
