Firmware 11.8.0.9

Our WAX515/WAX630e/WAX630 AP's are telling us there is a new firmware - v11.8.0.9 - I can't find that online is there a new firmware??  Or is that an error?

  • WAX615 I see the same thing. Though without official release notes I am being cautious and not installing.

    Release notes are delivered along with the email notification you received:

     

    Simple and user friendly, isn't it?

    Hi ratherman​ ,

    Yes. New firmware V11.8.0.9 is released for WAX615/WAX625/WAX630E through Insight and Auto upgrade portal. We are in process of uploading the firmwares and release notes to the support website and should be done ASAP.

    JFYI, Version V11.8.0.10 is released for WAX630/WAX610/WAX610Y, and WAX620 APs.


    Warm Regards,

  • You and your development team have really done a great job with this firmware release. The previous WAX630E firmware was bug ridden and horrible. Random unexplained AP reboots, inconsistent connection speeds between APs and wireless clients randomly disconnecting or massive packet loss/retries. All of those problems appear to be resolved with this release. I run five WAX630E devices in a wireless hub and spoke config and it’s greatly appreciated to see these annoying issues fixed. Thank you 👍
