Omada Controll only connects if firewall is OFF

2022-05-12 12:35:31

Model: EAP225-Outdoor

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 5.0.7 Build 20211026 Rel. 33125

I've never had any issue connecting my 2 EAP225's to my Omada Software controller. Until now. After upgrading the Software to 3.5.1 I can't even see the EAP's until or unless I turn OFF Windows Defender firewall protection. As soon as I turn it back on, I start getting "Heartbeat missed" messages, then all stops. I've opened ports UDP29810 and TCP Ports 29811-29814 but it makes no differance....any thoughts?? Ntw I'm using the most recent build of Windows 11 released on May 10 2022.

@ChrisK619

Pretty sure this is a Windows issue :) Have you tried restarting the Windows box after you made the firewall changes?

Looks like you nailed the right ports for the APs, but maybe you have to unblock the mongodb ports now too?: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/3281/

@ChrisK619 Thanks for all the replies. What I have found happened during the May 12th Win 11 Updater was that the update "unchecked" the ".NET Framework" from Windows Programs & Featured in Conraol Panel. Once I checked it, and restarted, everything loaded just fine. All seems to be running properly..
