@Hank21 I am on 5.13.30.8, and just noticed that for WLAN optimization there is no option to schedule it anymore, on previous version I had the schedule set up. The only thing that can be done is Deploy now. Not sure where it can be scheduled now. After deploying had a pop up with success but still no option to schedule.

Hello @Hank21 ,
I just installed 5.13.30.10 onto an OC300 v1.
When I select a client on "Known Client", it opens the details of a different client. Check the Mac address.
This is what I was talking about on my post here https://community.tp-link.com/en/business/forum/topic/649884?replyId=1322006 @Hank21. It will open the correct client if you didn't change the filter, sorting, or page. The problem occurs only when the table content has changed, it somehow still open the client from the first page.

@Hank21 Am I missing something? I am running a software controller on Linux and it keeps nagging me about an update to 5.13.30.8. However there isn't a .8 available on the website for Linux yet from what I can see. I am on .4 and that looks to be the latest beta.

@MR.S The newest there is 5.13.23. Thats production release. This is pre-release in this thread right? The lastest pre-release is 5.13.30.8. I figured it out. I just hit the download button in my UI of the controller and then SFTP it to my server. They need to fix the link on the main page.

@lifetechmeda They just released v5.13.30.8 for Linux a few hours ago. It can now be downloaded from the global site here: https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/omada-software-controller/. Just make sure you are not redirected to the regional site.
