Omada Controller 3.2.1(Linux) has been released.
Dear friends,
We are glad to share you that we have published Omada Controller 3.2.1 (Linux), which mainly optimizes the performance of the Omada Controller to manage up to 1500 EAPs.
1. You can download Omada Controller 3.2.1 (Linux) at the following link:
https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/eap-controller/#Controller_Software
2. Optimize the performance of Controller to manage up to 1500 EAPs.
Before this version of Omada Controller, we can use Omada Controller to manage no more than 500 EAPs. Now with Omada Controller 3.2.1, we can manage up to 1500 EAPs.
3. Installation on Linux Host
Two versions of installation package are provided: .tar.gzfile and .debfile. The .tar.gzfile can be used in multiple versions of Linux operating system. And the .debfile can be used in Ubuntu and Debian.
Make sure your PC meets the following requirements of hardware and system, then properly install the Omada Controller software.
3.1. Hardware Requirements
Omada Controller can manage up to 1500 EAPs if the Controller Host has enough hardware resources. To guarantee operational stability for managing 1500EAPs, we recommend that you use the hardware which meets or exceeds the following specifications:
- CPU: Intel Core i3-8100, i5-6500, or i7-4700 with 2 or more cores and 4 or more threads.
- Memory:6 GB RAM or more.
3.2. System Requirements
- Operating System: 64-bit Linux operating system, including Ubuntu 14.04/16.04/17.04, CentOS 6.x/7.x, Fedora 20 (or above) and Debian 9.8.
- Web Browser: Mozilla Firefox 32 (or above), Google Chrome 37 (or above), Opera 24 (or above), or Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 (or above).
New Feature/Enhancement:
1. Optimize the performance of Controller to manage up to 1500 EAPs.
2. Optimize the interactive process between EAP and Controller to decrease the process time.
3. Limit the entry number of client/client history/guest to 1.2 million/1.2 million /6 million.
4. Optimize display page of map and log when there are a lot of entries.
Bug Fixed:
1. Fixed the bug that CPU and memory may be highly used when Fast Roaming is enabled.
2. Fixed the bug that Omada Controller reports timeout error when adopting multiple EAPs simultaneously.
3. Fixed the bug that Controller will print all Voucher codes even only some of the codes are selected.
Notes:
1. To use new features on Omada Controller 3.2.x, you need to upgrade your EAP's firmware to the corresponding version.
2. The Omada Controller program needs to use the system's netstat command. If the Linux system does not have net-tools installed (which contain the netstat command), the program may not be able to run normally.
3. Support 64-bit Linux operating system including Ubuntu 14.04/16.04/17.04/18.04, CentOS 6.x/7.x and Fedora 20 or above, Debian 9.8.
4. Built-in JRE 1.8 Java environment.
5. Once upgraded to this version of Omada Controller, you will NOT able to downgrade to an earlier version.
6. Portal configuration will be lost after upgraded to Omada Controller 3.2.X from 2.4.8.
7. When upgrading from Controller 2.5.3 Linux to this version via install.sh, you need to uninstall old version of Controller first.

@R1D2 not initially, but I had tried shutting down the windows VM that it was running on and restarting the Linux system.
I also tried the EAP discovery tool to change the controller IP on the AP's with no luck....
Probably worth pointing out I'm an amature with no sysadmin experience in a volunteer role lol

@Philllll, make sure to disable the Windows firewall and anti-virus software. Also check whether you can ping the EAP from the PC running the controller, this is essential. If it still doesn't work, the Linux setup of the controller maybe screwed up (check for the pre-requisites mentioned in the release notes of Omada controller).
If all this fails, too, consider use of an OC200, it's running a Linux controller out of the box and is much cheaper than wasting time fiddling with Windows oddities, which still apply if running Linux in a VM under Windows.

@Philllll, see this post. That's the community version of Omada Controller 3.2.4.
Note that you have to install jsvc, mongodb, curl, net-tools and the Oracle JRE as pre-requisites. Unfortunately, the Debian jsvc package (but not the program itself!) has dependencies to OpenJDK last time I checked the package, so you might want to either compile jsvc from the source package directly or just copy the binary from the jsvc/apache-commons-daemon binary package to a safe location and remove the package with the dependency before installing Oracle JRE.
