Feedback for 4.1.5
I'm not sure what the proper channel is to provide feedback. There are lots of good things in the 4.1.5 update, but one thing I particularly dislike is the lack of positive determination for the admin re AP firmware status.
AP Firmware status. No positive instrumentation.
From the manual.
Result:
So I must take it on absolute faith that this EAP225 has the latest firmware at v1.20.0, because it doesn't have an upgrade icon showing in the last column? No, that's not good information. Also I have no way to make the controller double-check. All my indoor EAP225s show v2.20.1, so it looks like something is wrong.
The absence of a thing is not a positive. I know it's a trend in UI design, but it's a poor instrumentation approach to remove an icon if its status is green.
I think it is far superior to always show the upgrade icon, giove it a status colour, but always allow the user to click it at any time to force a check. I don't want to have to memorise the firmware version numbers myself, e.g. outdoor EAPs are current at v1.20 - and I don't want to go on absolute blind faith that the OC200 is doing it automatically.
