rs300 - guest and iot
just got a rs300. it is in AP mode. the main network works fine. created a guest network on wifi 5g using wpa2 and wpa3. the ssid randomly shows up and when it does clients can’t join. also created an iot network using 2.4g only. the ssid shows up and can connect to it however devices on iot network cant access internet or ping the local ips. using firmware 1.0.6.16.
any suggestions?
updating to the latest firmware fixed the issue. thank you.

It might be worth updating to the current firmware. The release notes mention WiFi stability and IoT issues:
should this be updated manually? I use the app and it says I am on the latest firmware already.
Yes. Manually update. v1.0.6.16 is not latest version.
updating to the latest firmware fixed the issue. thank you.
Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
Enjoy. 📡
