Additional features from v1.14.0 to v1.16.1 are listed below:
- WLS-ADT: Now supports group administration for WLS-ADT.
Modified features from v1.14.0 to v1.16.1 are listed below:
- Firmware Update: Disables wireless functionality during firmware update because firmware may not be updated successfully when wireless functionality is enabled. Because of this modification, the progress bar will not refresh if the device is connected to the AirStation wirelessly. After the diag LED turns off, log in to Settings and check if the firmware version was updated.
- Wireless: "STA Exceed maximum STA number of SSID." message will be displayed on syslog when the maximum number of connected devices (configured in "Load Balancing" section on "Security" page) is reached. The signal strength displayed on "Wireless Monitor" and "Clients" page is described using RSSI(dBm).
- RADIUS: Session timeout will be 60 seconds when an unconfigurable value (1-59 seconds) is set.
Fixed bugs from v1.14.0 to v1.16.1 are listed below:
- Wireless: Fixed the issue where 11g beacon sometimes stopped.
- VLAN: Fixed the issue where multiple VLAN settings did not function properly.
- RADIUS: Modified to reauthenticate without disconnecting wireless connection from a client after the session timeout if "Termination Action" attribute is "RADIUS-Request". Fixed the issue where some wireless clients could not be authenticated using EAP authentication.
- WDS: Fixed the issue where the AirStation sometimes could not communicate with any registered access points when a MAC address on the access point list was deleted on [Wireless Settings] - [WDS] page. Fixed the issue where the wireless throughput sometimes dropped about 10-20% if VLAN settings of wired interface or WDS interface were changed when using WDS.
- USB Log: Fixed the issue where the previous boot’s log was overwritten after restarting the AirStation when the log was configured to be transferred to a USB device.
- SNMP: Fixed the issue where the number of packets could not be obtained properly from "ifInUcastPkts" object.
- system: Fixed the issue where the AirStation sometimes hanged up.
- syslog: Fixed the issue where the "ICV error" log was put out excessively when using WDS.
About Access Point Firmware:
Before you consider downloading this firmware, go to the system information page of the router and make sure that the currently installed version isn’t either newer or matching this release.
Due to the large variety of router models and different methods for upgrading the device, it is highly recommended that you read and, above all, understand the installation steps before you apply the new firmware, even if you are a power user.
In theory, these steps shouldn’t be much of a hassle for anyone, because manufacturers try to make them as easy as possible, even if they don’t always succeed. Basically, you must upload the new firmware to the router through its administration page and allow it to upgrade.
If you install a new version, you can expect increased security levels, different vulnerability issues to be resolved, improved overall performance and transfer speeds, enhanced compatibility with other devices, added support for newly developed technologies, as well as several other changes.
If you’re looking for certain safety measures, remember that it would be best if you perform the upload using an Ethernet cable rather than a wireless connection, which can be interrupted easily. Also, make sure you don’t power off the router or use its buttons during the installation, if you wish avoid any malfunctions.
If this firmware meets your current needs, get the desired version and apply it to your router unit; if not, check with our website as often as possible so that you don’t miss the update that will improve your device.
