@Fae 

It looks like I started this thread about 8 months ago.  I recently upgraded all my firmware (EAP620HD v1 to firmware v1.0.4) and controller (v4.4.4) and I see that I still only have channels 36, 40, 44, and 48 available in the 5GHz band; e.g., DFS has not been added.  I understood from you that this would have been added in Q2.

 

Could you please clarify what the issues are and what I can expect going forward?  My older, cheaper APs all supported DFS which is becoming more and more important as the 5GHz band is filling up in busy areas.  (where I live)  This forces me to overlap my AP channels since I have only 1 effective 5GHz 80MHz BW channel.

 

Thank you in advance.

You can download a beta, link in his post.

But no official release yet, one year after  .. very disappointing.

Thanks for the link. We have the EAP620 and you are refering to the beta firmware EAP660. Will it work also ?

 

Regards

 

Sam

@shberge 

Thank you for the link.  I'm not sure if I have the time to debug a beta firmware, but it's at least a good sign it's being worked on.  I have EAP620HD v1, do you happen to know if the beta firmware applies to v1 or v2?  (I'm not sure if they are compatible)  I'm also EU.

 

@Fae, in a previous post you said that for EAP620HD v2, Controller v5, DFS channels would be supported.  I have the EAP620HD v1; is it also the case that it will support DFS channels with Controller v5?  When is that expected?

@symbiotic_ic 

 

This firmware is for V1 device, I have used it for a while and have not any problem so far.

 

but its easy to roll back if you have any trouble. but I think that not will be necessary smiley

Sorry that I have not been informed of the estimated date for EAP620HD V1 yet.
