WAX210 Firmware 1.1.0.34 Bug – SSID Password Complexity Incorrectly Enforced
Hi everyone — I’m seeing what looks like a firmware regression on the WAX210 after updating to v1.1.0.34, and I want to report it in case others are affected. After updating, the AP now refuses to save any configuration changes (even unrelated ones like just renaming the Access Point). The UI throws this error: SSID1: SSID passphrase length must be between 8 and 63 characters, and contain at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one number, and one special symbol. This happens even when the SSID password is not edited at all. The AP loads the existing (valid) WPA2/WPA3 passphrase and flags it as invalid due to a complexity requirement that didn’t exist before. This appears to be the AP Login Password complexity policy being mistakenly applied to SSID passphrases, which contradicts the official manual. SSID passwords for WPA2/WPA3 should only require 8–63 characters. Reproduction Steps Update WAX210 to firmware 1.1.0.34 Log into the web interface Make any change (example: AP Name only) Click Apply The SSID password complexity error appears, even though SSID settings were untouched Impact. The AP cannot accept any configuration changes unless the SSID password is replaced with a much more complex passphrase. This forces a complete re-key of all connected devices. Expected Behavior Per the WAX210 User Manual, SSID passphrases should be valid with: 8 to 63 characters No requirements for uppercase/lowercase/digits/symbols Those rules worked correctly in previous firmware versions. Current Workaround Rolling back to firmware 1.1.0.25 or 1.1.0.20 fully resolves the issue. Request Can Netgear please confirm whether this is a regression in 1.1.0.34 and escalate to the firmware engineering team? This issue effectively prevents configuration of the device. I can provide: Screenshots of the error dialog A configuration backup A short video showing the issue Exact hardware revision and serial if needed Thanks in advance.Produktionsdatum Switch prüfen
Hi. Ich habe einen Switch XS508M bei Amazon bestellt. Der gelieferte weist Gebrauchsspuren auf (der Lüfter ist schon verdreckt!), somit bezweifele ich, daß dieser neu ist ! Wie kann ich prüfen, wie alt das Gerät ist ? Geht das über die Seriennummer ? Danke und Gruß, ChristopherNo internet after switch is plugged in
I have a GS305v3 unmanaged switch that I just bought and attempted to use. It is connected to my internet via cat6 cable that I ran from my office in my house where my router/modem is located, to my bedroom. When I connect any device to the ethernet port that I put in the bedroom, I have no issues connecting to the internet. But if I plug the switch into the port, then any device to the switch, no internet is passing through. All lights on the switch illuminate as they should according to the manual, but I can't seem to find any info as to what the problem possibly is. For a clear picture of how all the hardware is set up: Fiber internet direct to router/modem in office Cat6 cable to ethernet port in office Cat6 cable from office ethernet port to bedroom ethernet port through the attic Any device connected directly to ethernet port in bedroom works perfectly with 1000mbps+ download Switch plugged direct to ethernet port, devices plugged into switch, no internet to any devices Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance to anyone who offers advice.XS724EMv2: UL listed / certified?
Hi. I'm searching for successor >=24 Port 10G-BaseT L2/L2+ Ethernet Switch as the current model XS728T is End-of-life. Netgear offers the XS724EM, which is also End-of-life, and the new XS724EMv2, which seems to be perfect for our use case. But as this is an important requirement for our international business the Switch must be UL listed or certified. Based on the datasheet the obsolete XS724EM is UL listed (UL listed (UL 1950)/cUL IEC 950/EN 60950), but I can't find any UL specification in the datasheet of the new XS724EMv2. So, I want to ask if anyone here can check the name plate on the XS724EMv2 switch if there is any symbol regarding UL or cUL. Thanks in advanceJGS524Ev2 not retaining config on reboot
similar to other folks that have posted before (e.g. https://community.netgear.com/discussions/business-smart-plus-click-switches/jgs524ev2--jgs516pe-loosing-some-vlan-configuration-after-reboot/2233853), the JGS524Ev2 is not retaining configs on reboot. more specifically vlans. not really finding troubleshooting steps. the device also fails to update to V2.6.0.50 from V2.6.0.48. it show the progress bar when i apply the change, but a couple seconds later drops back to the login page and nothing happened. any help is appreciated. thanks!IOS Apple Devices Dropping
I have WAX625, WAX610, & 605. For a number of months now, my IOS devices continue to drop their WIFI and then takes 2-5min to reconnect. I originally had Load Balance and Remove Sticky Clients configured. I have put everything back. Firmware on the AP is 10.8.13.2 I am a technical guy and I feel I have tried all the other things that have been mentioned in posts that sort of sound like mine. I think this is only happening on my 5/6ghz SSID. I Have a SSID for 2.4 and one for 5/6. Any suggestions? Anyone else seeing this? Im so frustrated that I'm looking at a different vendor for the house. I am managing these in Insight.
