Linux user can't connect WAX620

Hello,

 

Since 2 Day we have an issue with one of our WAX620. Linux's user have network issues when they connected to this WAX620 (WIndow and Apple's user have no issue). They have no issues with the other WAX620 we got.

 

This WAX620 is in the 10.4.1.4 Firmware and the other are still on 10.4.0.2 or 10.2.0.16.

 

Linux's user are on Ubuntu 22.04.2

 

Anyone have an idea? Also is it possible to downgrade the firmware of this WAX620?

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Best regards,

    There is some "fil rouge" for several years when it comes to such connectivity issues with Linux Wi-Fi clients.

     

    • Linux Kernel ?
    • iwlwifi driver version ?
    • Client adapters like Intel Wireless-AC 9560 [Jefferson Peak] or Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1030 [Rainbow Peak]* ?

    *all devices no longer maintained by Intel, use at your own risk, ....

     

    If it should not be a generic Linux issue ... compare with the millions of Android (Linux) devices out there not having any issues 8-)

     

    Time to use decent desktop OS?
