WAC104 Unable to Control WiFI Channel BandWidth
I setup 4 WAC104 as Acces Points, and there are no settings available to limit channel Bandwidth in 2.4 and 5GHz spectrums. There is a compatibility setting which appears to give no control over BandWidth. The shopping Center is very congested and I would like to force SSID "VillageLife" to 20MHz (See attached Images). This should be a setting to make it more friendly in congested areas. Apple devices do not use 40MHz, only 20MHz. Am I missing something? I contacted Tech Support and they claim there is no setting to limit Bandwidth, and told me to post it here. Most WiFi AP units I have dealt with allow you to limit bandwidth, so I'm surprised to see there is no bandwidth setting, and therefore hard to recommend to other clients (we like the 4 LAN ports SWITCH, allowing us to hardwire local computers to Ethernet and not WiFi).
Bonjour enable/disable in Wireless controller not available
Hi, Within an stand-alone AP (WAC720/730) it is possible to enable or disable the Bonjour service. When an AP is managed through a wireless controller you can not decide to enable or disable this protocol. I understand from Netgear support (Case #: 28216854 ) that it is enabled within the controller, but limited to 1Mbps. I can confirm that therefore the Bonjour/Airprint is not working perfectly. You cannot enable/disable Bonjour and cannot set the bandwidth. Can this feature add to the wireless controller firmware?
Restore WNDAP360 and WMS5316 compatibility
With the release of the v3.7.7.0 firmware for the WNDAP260, which in theory only fixed the WPA2 handshake "KRACK" issues, the WMS5316 controller can no longer authenticate the APs. Reverting to v3.6.9.0 restores the connectivity. I realise that there are newer controllers around than the WMS5316, but it would be nice to not have to spend the best part of £1k to maintain an existing installation. It's a hard sell (at best) to our client. Thanks for considering this request. Ronny Adsettsmake it possible to go up one level in cli configuration of WNDAP620
it would be cool to be able to go up one level during cli configuration of said AP. Like in Ciscos IOS, if you are in "configure terminal" or in an "interface" you should be able to go up one config level to be able to choose a different configuration item. At the moment you're "stuck" in the lower level and need to reconnect (and relogin) to configure the AP further
