Model: EAP245  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version:

I recently upgraded my setup to two APs : EAP245 and EAP225, both with V3 hardware.

 

I decided to use Omada to manage the two APs since I foresee adding another AP in the future.

 

I successfully installed Omada V3.2.14 on a Raspberry Pi 3B+. I could adopt the two APs but was unable to see any statistics. I think this is because the EAP firmware are meant for Omada SDN 4.1.x and later so are somewhat incompatible.

 

I downgraded the firmware on the EAP225 to an earlier version, and I was able to get the stats to show on Omada. I wanted to do the same for the EAP245 but all the earlier EAP245 firmware versions have all been removed / hidden on the TP-Link website.

 

Can anyone point me to where I can locate the EAP245 V3 firmware that will work with Omada V3.2.14? I believe the firmware needs to be earlier than version 2.20.0 build 20200423 r36779.

 

Alternatively, if anyone knows the steps to put Omada SDN 4.1.x on Raspberry Pi 3B+, I would be happy to upgrade everything to Omada SDN.

 

Thank you so much.

Hey

You would be much better upgrading to SDN v4. 

 

You can update the controller using the manual file option.   More details are here

@Philbert Thanks for the suggestion.

 

The problem is I couldn't get SDN v4 to work on the Raspberry Pi3B+.

 

Anyway, I found a different solution. I was able to get SDN v4 to work on Docker on my Synology NAS instead.
