Tags: #FESTA
Model: EAP235-Wall  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 3.1.1

I recently bought a EAP235-Wall from amazon and tried to add it to the free festa controller but it comes up with "The device is not in the Allow List" as seen below.

 

From this blog post "https://www.tp-link.com/id/blog/1556/festa-free-cloud-controller/" it says that EAP235 version 1.0 and 1.8 are supported. The back of the device shows 1.6 but the management interface when I log into the device says 1.0 as seen in the image below as well.

 

So two questions.

  1. What is the actual hardware version

  2. Can it be used with Festa

Thanks in advance!

Hi  @macavelly 

 

1. About Hardware version:

V1.6=V1.0, they are the same thing, just come from different factories;

 

2.  I don't have much info about it. It's better to contact local tp-link support team. From what I know, the Festa controller can only manage the Festa series. 

 

You can still use Omada software controller to manage your Omada EAP, anyway the software is free to use.

  @macavelly did you get to the bottom of this?  

I am seeing the same with EAP235-Wall(US) v1.0 and EAP225(US) v3.0 which are both on that list.
