WAC720 and WAC730 802.11r
Is there anyway to enable 802.11r/seamless roaming/fast transition on these access points?
The specification says that they are capable of it, but there is no setting in the GUI.
I have tried to configure this in the CLI but fast transition will not enable.
I have seen previous posts mentioning having to use Business Central - I may entertain this but have not yet found any way to create an account or subscribe - completely the opposite to Netgear Insight.
I do have an Insight Pro subscription and have tried to add a WAC720 there, but all that seemed to do was register it and it would not connect.
It does seem pretty poor to have a business product that is capable of adhering to an industry standard be crippled by not exposing this feature and preventing us from enabling it. Cheaper and inferior models of AP from other vendors allow this out of the box.
I have several sites using combinations of 720 and 730 APs in Ensemble mode and am close to ripping them out and replacing with something that actually can do what it says on the box.

- pn23AspirantAh that explains why I couldn't find a way to sign up for BC then. I couldn't find anything to say it's gone EOL. I bought these APs less than a year ago so feeling like I've been stiffed over this.
RaghuHR if the one cloud management system has been retired it does seem pretty poor to not be able to add them to the remaining one.
