For security reasons, shell access is no longer supported on EAP devices.

This is disappointing to see. Shell access is already secured by access to the Oamada Controller interface in order to set the password, so this doesn't break any security boundaries and makes debugging the devices significantly more difficult. If you're worried about local privilege escalation and someone being able to gain persistence on the device, perhaps fixing the insecure setuid binaries and outdated kernels with security vulnerabilities would be more useful, as this also protects against other exploits that may be able to achieve RCE as an unprivileged user.

Myself I use all three bands, it works. However, I did not try with 6 Ghz bandwidth on Auto.

Are you using all three bands?  I get the same issue unless I remove 2.4GHz from the MLO enabled SSID.

Hi everyone,

I am the one who posted recently about the MLO issue.

After updating my iPhone 17 Pro to iOS 26.0.1 and enabling MLO on the EAP783, the issue still persists in my environment.
When I try to connect to the MLO SSID, I still receive the error message: “Unable to join the network ‘M**_A’.”* and the connection fails.

However, if I disable MLO, the iPhone 17 pro can connect successfully over 6 GHz without any problem.

For your reference, the channel width of each band is set to “Auto.”

What issues are you seeing?

The iPhone 17 N1 chip had a known WiFi issue and is fixed in today's iOS patch.  I'm able to connect and MLO works (5GHz + 6GHz).  I haven't had any stability issues on the 1.1.1 firmware.

  @Vincent-TP 

This is really reaching a sad state...  No EAP783 stable firmware for over year. A beta every few months, and all have annoying issues... 6ghz connection dropout issues, MLO issues, Apple compatibility issues, these threads never get a conclusion and the issues never really get resolved.  If they wer resolved we would have a new stable firmware. Squash one bug and two more pop up.  I've now reverted from a beta back to the 1 year-old stable firmware for the 3rd time.  Note, that "stable" is far from stable -- MLO issues, crashes AP with 2.4Ghz enabled, etc (take a look at the beta release notes to see all of the things fixed since last "stable")...

I just use two EAP783's for my home and it's been a dissapointment, always waiting for a firmware to resolve this stuff.  Hoping it "just works" some day.  It hurts me to think of the pain for any of you who actually use these Omada/EAP devices for a real business or enterprise. 

Vincent, be real with us... Is this firmware ever going to be ready for primetime?  Is a new stable release coming anytime soon?  Or was the HW just not ready, can't be fixed, and we are screwed.  If we are, just tell us and let us move to another brand.  

I hope I am not wrong, but my iphone 17 pro connects to my test MLO network without issues. Anything I could share as settings to compare with non working setup?

Since iphone 17 series does not support 320 Mhz channels, I've set EAP783 6Ghz to 160Mhz.

  @Vincent-TP Thank you for the quick reply! Please see my replies below and let me know how to proceed. :)

Issue 1: After a period of time, iPhone 16 Pro (iOS 26) loses all Wifi connectivity to LAN and WAN until I toggle Wifi on and off a few times. 

>>>After toggle Wifi on and off a few times, will the issue reoccur? If yes, around how long? 

Does this only happens on the iphone 16 pro? What about other IOS clients?

Will this happens on all kinds of wifi settings?

 

Re Issue 1: Yes. Issue reoccurs within 5 minutes to maybe 1 hour? Other iOS clients including older but all MLO capable apple TV, older iPad pro, and iPhone 13 Pro. A M3 max macbook pro has the same issue. Devices lose all connectivity only on MLO as far as I am getting reports of. 2.4, 5, and 6ghz SSIDs seem to work.

 

 

Issue 2: iPhone 17 Pro is unable to join MLO SSID at all.

>>>Did the situation similar, or same as what others mentioned?

 

Re Issue 2: Yes I think so. 

 

 

Issue 3: When 5Ghz channel width is set to 80Mhz, iPhone 16 Pro and 17 Pro are unable to join my 5Ghz-only SSID. The same devices will connect to 5ghz when using a MLO SSID.

Please confirm the following situation:

>>>channel width is not  80Mhz, everything is working correctly 

>>>channel width is 80Mhz, enable MLO, work

What about other situations?

 

Re Issue 3: I have only tested channel width of 80Mhz with the above issues and 40Mhz without issue. 

New Issue 4: Various Intel BE200 equipped windows 11 laptops and desktops also lost the ability to access MLO. They can still access 2.4, 5, and 6Ghz SSIDs.
