Hello,
I have a problem getting the latest firmware for the AP7562.
To the background: I bought two second hand AP7562 from a company.
Unfortunately, this company no longer exists.
These two AP7562 still have a totally outdated firmware installed.
I want to update the two AP7562 for security reasons.
Unfortunately I have no way of downloading the current firmware (AP7562_WiNG_v7.6.0.1.zip) because I don't have a contract with Extreme Networks myself.
The AP7562 are optically and technically new (they were in the warehouse as replacement devices).
It would be a shame not to be able to use the devices (sustainability).
Can someone help me maybe to solve the problem (via PM, if you like)?
Thank you and best regards
Janina

Hi Janina,
AP 7562 is an outdoor AP and it has just 90 days of software access: https://cloud.kapostcontent.net/pub/ee94442b-acf8-4567-90ab-c85e34950b7f/extreme-networks-product-wa...
It would be awesome to be able to get a support contract to gain software access for these, I don’t think there should be a problem for this, maybe there is some concerns that people could induce more RMAs after buying hardware that went second hand because it got broken by the original user… But there was also a software-only support contract as far as I remember. It should be possible to get such IMHO. Perhaps it would be doable to reach out to your local Extreme’s SE to ask for some tailored solution.
Hope that helps,
Tomasz

I absolutely need the AP7562 as a client bridge.
Since my AP7562 still have the original firmware (v5.8.1.0), I unfortunately cannot use this feature.
The AP7562 supports client bridge feature, starting in v5.8.5.0.
Can someone please help me?
Best Regards

Hello,
is there maybe someone I can email the firmware update from?
That would be nice.
The AP7562 are legally bought and the manufacturer promises lifelong updates!
Why this does not apply to a second buyer is a mystery to me.
Please someone have mercy on me and send me the update file.
Thank you so much
