Yes, there is something buggy there, try deactivating the cloud and activating it again

@MR.S The slider to deactivate the cloud access is not available - It will not allow me to turn it off to try the workaround.

@Vincent-TP Cloud access is stuck on "disconnected" now and cannot be disabled/re-enabled - I get a red circle when I hover over the slider. I have rebooted and tried to click numerous times and nothing changes. Otherwise it seems to work fine.

Hi, @daubstep
thank you so much for all these valued feedback. As for point 1, may we know your deb's version? And what's the firmware version of the software controller before this update? Does the wifi issue persist?

Normally, The Internet vlanId is automatically assigned when the device is adopted.
If this is pre-config, you may input any value between 1-4086 as long as it doesn't duplicate with LAN, virtual wan, iptv custom configuration (if any) ID.
Note: The default LAN ID is 1.

This is the deb I installed for this update: Omada_SDN_Controller_v5.15.6.4_beta_linux_x64.deb Before this update I was running the latest previous update (from a few weeks prior): 5.14.32.2. Both were running on the same LXC running Debian 12 under Proxmox 6.8.12-1-pve.
Once I forced the devices with the initial issue to reconnect to wifi they worked. I've had one other issue with wifi devices not being connected that were always stable prior to the update, but I couldn't tell if I just didn't notice them at first and they were actually dropped during the update as well or if they were dropped later - after resetting these other devices they have reconnected and are working again as well, and I haven't noticed any other issues.
