WAC720 LOCKING UP
Having a radom lockup issue...on two different wac720 units at different sites the wireless just stops, can not log into the unit, disconnect/reconnect ethernet has no effect. Have to power cycle ...

And I also have the same issue!
Three WAC720's in Ensemble mode at a client location. Connect to Cisco POE switch. Version 3.6.12.0 on all three.
Exactly the SAME symptoms as described by everyone else. One or more of the AP's will become completely unresponsive with the only way to recover is turning off power from the switch.
After powering back up the AP's also reverts back to 3.1.5.0!!
Extremely dissapointed in the quality of this product especially after many years of recommending and selling Netgear products.
A Business class product should NEVER have made it through Q/A with this glaring of a bug!

Hi ZenOne
Can you please SSH to your AP and get these CLI outputs for us?
bootenv -d pmon_ver
get system
Thanks

I can only SSH to two of the three AP's for some reason.
