SXK80 3.3.0.122 Fast Roaming Option Gone

Just decided to try the new 3.3.0.122 firmware and noticed that the option to enable/disable fast roaming under Advanced Setup -> Wireless Settings is gone.  Factory reset after the update and confirmed that the option is still missing.  I'm assuming this is a bug as surely Netgear is not removing options/features from a Pro series of products?  Or has the option moved and I'm simply blind?

Thanks

  • New firmware V4.0.0.118 is now out for the SXK80 and the Fast Roaming Option is back!

  • Quick followup - reverted to 3.2.6.100 and the setting is once again available.  Netgear, please advise.

  • I'm still on 3.2.6 for the moment - can anyone on 3.3.0 check to see if they just moved it to the debug page?

      Way ahead of you - I already checked that.  It is *not* on the debug page.

        Did some testing over the weekend and it looks like fast roaming is on with no way to disable it via the GUI.  I for one need the option to turn it off restored as fast roaming is too agressive for some of my IoT devices.

      Yup!  Very happy to see this!  I was told in a PM that this would be happening but wasn't holding my breath.  Thank you DavidGo for your help in bringing this back!
