I noticed that firmware for the AP650(AH) is out, with the new version being 10.5.4.0.

I updated a few of the AP's that had zero clients, startign on my AP650(ah)'s, and then went to update the firmware on the AP1130's. thats when i noticed that 10.5.4.0 wasnt an option, only the previous version 10.5.3.0.

Whats going on? since ive had this system (since Aerohive) its been the same firmware for the AP650's as it has for the AP1130's.

Dont tell me that the firmware is going to start to diverge based on the model of AP... please dont tell me that.... not a good idea..

Anyway, im interested why the latest isnt available for the AP1130's, anyone?

Well, the AP1130's have a firmware update. Im re-posting this, as I did post again, but it didn't show up here. Reposting it, this time as a reply to my first post may help with that.

Here is the version number:

10.6r1a and it takes about 7.5 minutes to fully update, along with two reboots, which makes me think this is a security fix - No release notes on that version so far, so i am guessing its a security fix.

Anyway, wanted all to know that check posts here.

Thanks,

J.

If it stays that it isn't please ask why, it's an AC AP and there are lots of other AC ones still supported.

According to End of Sale and End of Service Life - Extreme Networks they are supported till July 31, 2025.

Well, prepare to be pissed. Oh, and I couldnt get a "why" out of them, only this:

"I was able to get clarification today regarding this. Official word from PLM is that that 10.5r4 and 10.5r5 are not going to be supported by the 1130 and it has been requested to close the internal case with engineering as well."

What bull-crap. I requested a management review, and will also bring our Extreme rep into this. So even internally they screwed up, as evidenced by both newer release notes saying AP1130's are included. Im SO pissed right now.

@daniel1 you showed that the AP1130's still have almost 2 years before EOL... how the hell can they not support future firmware for those AP's.. what about security updates, as im sure there will be other vulnerabilities! insane

Well, they just updated their documentation (now i understand why i was left hanging for almost 2 weeks, gave time to update that):

Not happy. Customer last to know, and only knows because they had to create a support case.
