WNDAP360 fw 3.7.7.0 issues
I have a WMS5316 (fw 2.1.5) AP controller and seven WNDAP360 AP's (fw 3.6.9.0). I now updated three of the AP's to the latest fw version 3.7.7.0 (also via fw version 3.7.4.0). But I have not been ab...
- Hi I'm testing the new (!) fw beta version for the WMS5316, Beta version 2.1(A).6, and it works just fine with the lastest fw for AP's WNDAP350 and WNDAP360 (now running on the latest fw ver 3.7.9.0). No issues! I've been told that the new beta fw 2.1(A).6 will be released in 18Q1. So the great WMS5316 is not EOS or EOL...! Regards XeonNet
Thank you. Can you tell me if the WC7500 is compatible with the latest 3.7.7.0 update please?
We'd prefer to not have to spend more then £900 on equipment just so we can manage APs with the 3.7.7.0 update on.

The WC7500 is compatible with the WNDAP360 using firmware v3.7.7. The latest firmware version for the WC7500 is v6.5.3.1. Kindly check the release notes here which includes the minimum standalone AP firmware version required to be discovered by the WC7500.

Hi,
Just found this thread after upgrading all our WNDAP360's to 3.7.7.0. To say I'm bloody annoyed is an understatement. The release notes would have been a good place to point out that the upgrade (that mentions 1 fix only for the KRACK WPA2 issue) would break connectivity with the controller!
So we now have hardware that's still listed on the Netgear website as compatible that really is not.
Will Netgear produce a 3.7.7.1 fix to reinstate compatibility? I'd hope so if only to restore some level of confidence.
Thanks.

I suggest you post your concern as a firmware/feature request that will make the WNDAP360 using the latest firmware version to be compatible with the WMS5316 (which is already End of Life) to the Idea Exchange for Business board here. In this way, the development team can see what fix/feature does WNDAP360 users wanted to be added to the functionality of the WNDAP360 access point.

Just as a FYI, v3.7.9.0 has been released but the issue remains.
