Are there "requirements" to get in to the beta program? I would like to try out the beta to see if it resolves my client stability issues, and my issues with a wired backhaul.

Greetings RocketSquirrel,

Thank you for your interest in participating! Are there specific issues that you are experiencing that I can ask the engineering team to confirm has been fixed in this release?

Thank you kindly,

Christine

Yes, ChristineT, a couple of issues. Thanks for asking.

1. Setting up wired backhaul is a long, frustrating process. Instructions imply it should "just work", but users (including me) have experienced network storms and long waits for stabilization before wired backhaul begins to work.

2. Wired Orbis tend not to recover after a power glitch, bringing down the entire LAN. They require tender loving care and quite a bit of time to get back up and running. A split-second power glitch has caused me to spend 30-60 minutes baby-sitting my network to get it up again. (I now have all 3 Orbis on UPSes.)

3. The QOS GUI page confuses users because there's nothing there but a speed test.

  Exactly. I will not be interested in testing the beta firmware unless it fixes all the convergence issues with wired backhaul

    Hello toe,
    
    I can confirm we have seen some positive feedback about backhaul functionality but would really appreciate your feedback. I'd be happy to provide access this beta forum if you're interested. Please let me know how you'd like to proceed.
    
    Kind Regards,
    
    Christine
