If it was a hardware thing I would understand (CWP bypass). I know it is probably a manpower/focus and a push for people to update their APs, which I guess I understand. But by not patching 6.x with new features that are supported in 8.x leaves a lot...
I had an issue with CWP bypass via user profile as well. All of my APs were on 6.X HiveOS.. I have a mix of AP121s, 130s, and 230s.. Well I updated all of my APs that I could to 8.X hiveOS (golden) and the bypass now works via user profile on my AP13...
