Hello TPLink /  @Wizz 

 

I have recently upgraded / purchased  TL-WA1201 v3 and it says it has latest firmware and details are as follows:

 

Firmware Version :
1.10.0 Build 220118 Rel.36469n(4555)
Hardware Version :
TL-WA1201 3.0

 

I have recently upgraded from TL-WA901N , where it supports the multi-tagging on VLAN and Multi-SSID, but lacks 5Ghz band.

 

After upgrade, the multi-SSID dont support Multi VLANs on 1201 and all client devices are conected on a single VLAN ID itself.

 

Could you please confirm if this firmware has the beta fix for multi-SSID / multi-tagging VLANs ? and any tentative timelines to get it through for v3?

 

If not, i shall return the newer hardware and save some bucks until you push it through !

 

Regards,

Akash

Hello   @AkashB 

As far as I know  TL-WA1201 V3 does not have known instability issue, can you help with detailing the concern and help desribe like the phenomena, and the topology.

You may attach some information here 

1-The model of router, and the network topology 

e.g. ISP router-switch Model XX - AP 

What are the network devices that connected to this AP? 

2- the photo of Multi-SSID mode settings on the AP, and photos of VLAN settings on the switch

 

We created a support email for you to look into it, can you please check if you receive the email TKID221100811

I bought your TL-WA1201 for multi-SSID, but it is so unreliable that it is useless. On your support chat they told me it's a known issue, but can't give me a fix date and cannot offer an alternative (apparently TL-WA1201 is the only AP you do that "supports" multi-SSID). If I need multi-SSID now, can you advise what options I have please?

do we still have to observe that the router and AP's IP addresses are on different subnets?

  @arez_2006 

 

Unfortunately, i had sinilar issue where i couldn't get it working, hence i have to degrade toTL-WA901N , where it supports the multi-tagging on VLAN and Multi-SSID, but lacks 5Ghz band.

If you OK to work on 2.5GHz bandwidth, i would recommend that.
