WAC564 client isolation fails after power-cycle
I've been struggling since the mid-March firmware update (V9.3.0.5) which I had started to describe a month ago by adding onto someone else's post (Guest network can't access internet when client iso...
Hi DougHog
Thanks for reaching us. First issue on client isolation is a known issue. We are fixing in our next release. Please stay tuned.
Regarding day zero UI selection we will check and update.
Thanks,

Hi DougHog
Are you seeing the day zero issue on Chrome browser? Did you checked with any other broswer?
In my "lab" where I was trying to reproduce the problem to document for Netgear, I was using everything at defaults. Browser was Edge from cleanly installed/updated Windows 10. Edge is Chromium-based, which some people would call Chrome.
Now that I've reported the client isolated SSID fails after power-cycle bug and it is acknowledged, if you want I can use my "lab" to reproduce with another browser if you want.
Although it could be browser, My guess is that it is a *timing* isssue, in other words trying to use the UI as fast as possible after booting (rather than booting and then getting a cup of coffee or being distracted and then come back to it later). Some Netgear products seem to have processes going on in the background or something (radio vs main processor?) very shortly after booting where they present a UI which isn't quite working, but then a short while later the background process presumably finishes and then the UI becomes more complete.
Wow, I installed Firefox in my "lab" setup and the web UI of WAC564 is totally better with Firefox - Works properly. Hopefully Netgear can either adjust or report the problem to Chromium, since Firefox has just a few percent of the browser market but Chrome seems around 20x more popular (near two-thirds of the market, with the other third mostly Apple-Safari). If I had known about how the UI worked with Firefox, I might have purchased more Netgear Access Points (rather than thinking the UI was terribly slow).
