AP230 with HiveOS 6.1r5 update issues

MrWeiser — Mon, 20 May 2024 22:37:44 GMT

Dear all,

got my fingers on an AP230. Hardware is looking fine, but I have some connection issues so I wanted to try if firmware upgrade will improve. It is running on 6.1r5, but I cannot upgrade. In this board I learned that I first have to upgrade to 6.1r6 and 6.4r1 firmware, but it seems that it is not available for download anymore. Could someone tell me how to get it? If a mod could send it to me too it would be great!

Yes, for that reason I am here. So if a mod from Extreme Networks could help me, that would be great.

Hi @MrWeiser, unfortunately due to licensing issues and differences in country to country regulations, we can't give out firmware files without you first logging in to our Extreme Portal and downloading it from there once we've verified your account and location via your portal login. I'm sorry we couldn't be more helpful here.

The AP230 is a solid device, but your upgrade path is correct. You need to first move to 6.1r6, then 6.4r1 before going higher. Unfortunately, older firmware versions are often removed from official sources. Your PM Loan Scheme best bet is to check with support or community members who may still have the files. If a mod sees this, they might be able to help you directly.
