Model: EAP225  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version: 1.2.1 Build 20230824 Rel. 61490

UPD. 

Finally, the solution that helped me was migrating to Ubuntu.

1. I prepared a backup (Global view > Settings > Maintenance > Backup > Save to local file)

2. Made a fresh installation of a Ubuntu 20.04 + Omada Controller Linux version

3. Chose this file as a source while configuring a new controller.

==================


I'm trying to add an EAP225(EU) access point to my network, and it fails with a generic error. 

 

On the Devices page of my Controller I click "Adopt", I get prompted for the Site, select one, then click Adopt, and nothing happens with a 'General error'.

 

I tried to adopt the AP unconfigured (just out of the box) with original software (most likely 1.0.1), configured, with the software upgraded to 1.1.3, 1.2.1, with Cloud-based controller management off and on: the error persists.


Tried to get more info via browser console, but it's just a POST request with a `{"mac": "AC-15-A2-4A-3F-1E"}` payload, and 200 response `{"errorCode":-1,"msg":"General error."}`
POST https://192.168.0.111:8043/73cf70fb99bc57429f629c4c4b0297dc/api/v2/sites/63d80e0b452bac2ab5b398bc/cmd/devices/adopt

Software Controller

v5.13.22 running on Windows 10.

Router 
Model: ER605 v2.0
Firmware Version: 2.2.3 Build 20231201 Rel.32918

AP
Model: EAP225(EU) v5.0

Firmware Version: 1.2.1 Build 20230824 Rel. 61490

 

I've double-checked for the needed ports and they seem to be open, plus I've added the rules to the firewall to ensure that that's not the cause

  @d0ugmac1 yes, I tried turning off both Firewall and Defender, with no success. Factory resetting is simething i did few times, with different firmware versions, with no success too.

 

Finally, the solution that helped me was migrating to Ubuntu.

1. I prepared a backup (Global view > Settings > Maintenance > Backup > Save to local file)

2. Made a fresh installation of a Ubuntu 20.04 + Omada Controller Linux version

3. Chose this file as a source while configuring a new controller.

 

As a result, it loaded all my previous configuration (it took a few minutesto hook up the router), and the AP was easily adopted just as it should.

Does it work if you just turn off Windows Defender and Firewall temporarily?

Have you factory reset the AP?
