Trouble Firmware WMS5316
Hi,
I recently bought 1 WMS5316 and 2 AP WNDAP350.
I boot the wms5316 and click on every menu with firefox6 on W7 32bits - Everything is ok.
Then before to tune all the stuff, I decide, like I do for everything, to upgrade to the last version.(2.1.2 for WMS5316 and 2.0.27 for AP)
At first, I don't notice anything wrong but when I tried to recognize my AP, I get nothing.
After a few try, I get the idea that it's a problem with the OUI. Then I try to go to the OUI menu on the WMS5316 but it has disapear !!!
I have try with IE9 and it's the same. The OUI is not in the menu anymore.
So I donwgrade the WMS5316 to the base firmware and I get back the OUI menu with IE9 but still not there in firefox6.
I was then able to detect the AP.
I loose my time !!!! It's supposed to be PROFESSIONAL stuff. It could be PROFESSIONAL to get intruction on wich browser your stuff is working.
It could be more PROFESSIONAL to develop web interface wich work with all the browser.

- I had the same problems with a WMS 5216 and a WDAP350 (both latest FW) not seeing each other. I tried to use the interface with Chrome and it immediately worked. Could it be just a problem with the latest IE and FF?
- it's rare that chrome worked and IE did not... did you try with IE compatiblity mode? and which IE version?
- Forum now hows wireless controller and associated products are now posted
http://forum1.netgear.com/forumdisplay.php?f=118 - I used the latest IE for Win7 with all the latest patches (Thats IE 9 isn´t it) and the latest FF stable release... The problem could be reproduced on different machines so it wasnt just some faulty cache. Not being compatible with some of the more esoteric browsers on the market I can understand but failing on the two biggest players on the market is an achievement! :)
