Hardware Version: V4
Firmware Version: Firmware Version 5.2.3 Build 20250709 Rel. 67584

HI, i am testing the Omada controller because my plan to setup it for 700 user. 

I want to prevent wireless users from sharing Wi-Fi via the mobile hotspot. So i enabled Prohibit Wi-Fi Sharing setting. but when i test it i can still use the mobile hotspot. 

i have Omada_Controller_v6.0.0.25_Windows. 

and as AP i am using EAP225 (Firmware Version 5.2.3 Build 20250709 Rel. 67584). (Power through POE). 

POE switch is other brand.

 

Can you please Guide me. So i can complete my testing and go to the live envirement ASAP.

I don't know which device has this feature, it's probably safest to get that information from the Omada team. But you'll probably need to upgrade to a newer EAP6x.

>>>Unfortunately, no.

 

As for the price, it indeed varies across different countries and products. I’m not sure about the specifics, you may confirm it with your retailer.
