Omada v6 — AP fails to reconnect after Fallback IP config push (ap_-6)
Omada v6 — AP fails to reconnect after Fallback IP config push (ap_-6)
Environment:
- Omada Software Controller v6
- EAP655-Wall, EAP725-Wall (and likely other EAP models)
- AP in controller mode, DHCP active
Steps to reproduce:
- AP → Config → IP Settings
- DHCP mode: leave unchanged (already enabled)
- Enable Fallback IP → enter IP in a different subnet than the AP's current active IP (e.g. current: 192.168.5.x, fallback: 172.16.10.x)
- Save → confirm security warning
- AP goes CONFIGURING → DISCONNECTED and stays disconnected
- Configuration Result:
IPv4 Edit — Device response timed out (ErrorCode: ap_-6)
Expected behavior: AP applies the config, reboots if necessary, and reconnects to the controller automatically.
Actual behavior: AP does not reconnect after the config-triggered reboot and remains disconnected indefinitely.
Key observation: A manual power cycle (no config changes) immediately brings the AP back online with the pushed configuration intact and working. This confirms the configuration itself is valid — the AP simply fails to complete its reconnection after a controller-triggered reboot.
