@Virgo thanks. Appreciate this is RF dependent. However bearing in mind these EAPs overlap I would expect if they were interfering or operating in a congested environment to see a similar level of drops/retries on both. I don't believe the V4 is not encountering retries at all. This EAP always has a rock solid flat line, which is a little too good to be seemingly true. I have swapped their locations and the outcome is the same.

Understand they would be different chipsets, resulting in a different HW variant number. But why are the menus different/not harmonised in Omada Controller for the same product family? Just interested to know if there is a FW update imminent, particularly as the V5 has not had any updates yet?

  @Apples Yesterday I noticed that my dropped packet rate on my EAP225 v5 had been running all day at 60-80% plus drop rate. Again my EAP225 v4 had no such issue and still looks like the screenshots I shared originally. I rebooted the device and the attached is how it looks now.

I also noticed the following issue related to an EAP 225 v5 and the latest Omada Software Controller_V5.7.6 release and now my HW controller has advised this release is available. I am reluctant to upgrade now as there seems to be concerns around this EAP version staying attached to the controller.

I have also raised the following request in the Business Router forum regarding release date schedules for Omada Devices FW, I am awaiting a response to a referral to R&D apparently.

@TandS raised a similar ask

@MayhemHack also raised a question on FW for ER605 that related to similar points TandS and myself were making RE publishing FW dates for features promised in new Omada Controller releases yet to be unlocked by Device FW "Coming Soon". Ultimately the question here is how soon is coming soon. So far I have seen two Controller releases and still no device FW releases for any of my products.

As you can see I have concerns for EAP225 v5 still on its manufactured FW surrounding Dropped Packet rates, the new Omada controller potential issue and general GUI differences highlighted in this post.

Can we please get indications of when Device FW will be released please across Routers, Switches & EAPs?
