How to find recommended software versions for Extreme's (ex. Aerohive) AP's 330, 121, 230

Hi,

I am trying to find recommended software versions for the AP's in the subject but with no luck. I would like to plan update of the mentioned AP's if neccessary but couldn't find what is recommended software version for each. I found that there used to be HiveOS Access point matrix where you could see the recommended software version for the AP's by model, and last matrix I was able to found on the forum is dated from 2019 which isn't relevant anymore.
Where and how could I get the info I need?
Thanks!

Hi,

these are corporate devices onboarded to Extreme cloud IQ and supported. I can do the upgrade through portal, but having difficulties to tell which of the offered versions is the recommended for each model. I am not willing to go to the latest release. I prefer to go to the recommended versions - before those were stated as golden releases if I recall correctly.

There aren't really any golden/latest firmwares anymore, generally the latest is the one support recommend.
For the 330 & 121, the 6.5 strand is the "latest" it'll go to. 6.5r12 was the old "golden" I think - 6.5r15 is the latest now, but only has security fixes in between r12 and r15 as it's a non-feature strand now.
For the AP230 I'd personally go to the latest (10.4r3), but if you wanted to have a non feature release then 8.2r11 would be the best in that regard

(from a personal viewpoint anyway)
