Hi  @Tintronic 

 

Thanks for posting here.

 

1.33.6 is the RC version for OC300, which is not published to the website.

 

Did you enable Join Early Access Program?

 

 

If yes, you will get this notice.

 

You can get the changelog from the following post:

Hello @Vincent-TP 

No, as can be seen from my first screenshot, I have the "Join Early Access Program" option disabled (I've never enabled it), so there is no reason for me to get the new firmware notification for anything other than stable releases.

But still, there is a discrepancy between the automatic and the manual FW check for updates. It should either be shown on both or neither.

Thanks for the changelog link.

  @Tintronic 

I have not joined early access as well but received the notification to upgrade to this firmware from my OC300 v1 controller and did it. I have no complaints so far regarding the operation of this firmware version. But since it is a release candidate, should I roll it back to previous official version?

  @Tintronic  I'm getting the same result for my OC200 v2 today. I get the popup 

New Controller Software Available

New Controller software 2.24.6 Build 20260227 Rel.85612 is now available.

  @MrTom 

I've never ever switched the "Early Access" on any of my two OC300 nor on my OC200 controllers, so activating it temporarily that is not the reason why you're getting the New FW notification.

  @VitaliyT 

I just checked an OC200 V2 that is on a low usage site and yes, it also shows a (v1.39.6) Build 20260227 update popup, while the manual FW Update checking returns no new firmware.

According to Vincent-TP, 1.33.6 was quickly superseeded by 1.33.7 as shown by the changelog at https://community.tp-link.com/en/business/forum/topic/859086. If I understand the changelog correctly, the only difference is a new feature, number 37 in the "New Features" section:

"37. Added support for cloud-based remote access (NAT traversal) that lets administrators reach HTTP/HTTPS services on private-LAN devices through a cloud-connected jump host, available for gateway 6.2 firmware and select switch/AP 6.2 builds in Network Tools > Remote Access and Client Details > Toolbox > Remote Access (Cloud Access must be enabled for Local Controller)."

Since the changelog doesn't reflect a fix to the annoying wrong New Firmware for EOL devices, I'm staying away from it until a stable release.

  @Vincent-TP 

I've run into the same situation.
On my OC300, I had "Join Early Access Program" disabled (I've never enabled it) and the Release Channel set to Stable, but since an update notification appeared, I checked the release notes and went ahead with the upgrade.
Since the release notes were available at the time, I assumed the stable version had been released.
Given that the release notes have also been removed, was it pulled due to some kind of bug or issue?
