WG102 fails with iPad / iPhone with iOS 6 and WPA2 / AES - urgent fix necessary!
Hello *, * after upgrading my iPad 3 to iOS 6 it constantly fails to connect to WiFi with WPA2 and AES - hidden or broadcasted SSID - at home and at work because the device does not accept the WPA2...
- The downgrade to 5.0.1 DOES work. It fixed connectivity with my two IOS 6 devices, my wife's iPhone 5 and my new iPad Retinal screen. It does not appear to have caused any connectivity issues with any other devices to go down to 5.0.1 :)
Your claim that it is an Apple fault is completely unsubstantiated. iOS 6 & 6.0.1 connect just fine to firmware 5.0.1 and to almost every other vendors hardware. There is no proof whatsoever of what the actual fault is.
There are significant Disassociation problems with 5.0.1 so it's really inappropriate to suggest that Apple cannot adhere to standards when clearly Netgear's own firmware has had bugs.
These devices were still available for purchase as recently as 12-18 months ago, and they have a hardware warranty until 2039. So yes I would expect there to be support for considerably longer than is currently being given.
I would also hope that Netgear would consider allowing companies to provide their own support by releasing source code, under an appropriate NDA, in the event that they wish to cease providing firmware support earlier than hardware support.
Are you seriously suggesting that Netgear's product range have a useful production life of less than 4 years?
The point is that my business is suffering and Netgear have it in their power to enable me to at least try and diagnose the fault but are refusing to do so.
