On 5.13.10, all of my EAPs are stuck in a constant cycle of Adopting/Provisioning. Noticed the behavior shortly after the installation. As my previous post stated, the port numbers identified on the map for connections between other TP-Link switches and EAP's seem correct now. However, I did notice that the link speed was no longer displayed between switches and EAP's (that may be because the EAP's were stuck in an adopting/provisioning loop).
Also noticed I'm not the only one with these issues. This is clearly a bug in v5.13.10. Will be downgrading back to 5.13.9 (which worked fine, but did not connect to the Cloud).
I would advise against upgrading to 5.13.10 due to the EAP provisioning loop. I have 4 EAP 670's and 1 EAP 610-outdoor on my network. Nothing that I tried would stop the adopt/provisioning loop on the EAP's. I restarted the controller, restarted the EAP's, the issue persisted regardless.

I do some more testing last evening and what I do was
from 5.13.9 i remove all access point before upgrade, then upgraded to 5.13.10 and then adopt the access point.
and now all access point is adopted.
but but but. this is not I could do if it was a customer. so I hope this is fixed in the official release. :-)
