Known issue with Unifi Access points and 4.3.24.11355 FW

@CCWTech said in Known issue with Unifi Access points and 4.3.24.11355 FW:
@jclambert I just can't believe Ubiquiti hasn't fixed things yet and the FW is still available as the current version.
I also have an upgrade showing available today. NO idea how long it has been there. I do not log in daily.
-
because that one was not on .24 /sigh..
can't read.. but the other ones at that site were on that already.

This is supposed to fix the issue: https://community.ui.com/releases/UAP-Firmware-4-3-26-11358/e05cd041-ea54-460c-85f4-7f3fd97261e8?page=8

@CCWTech I'll wait for it to become "stable". I'm aware this term is a very loose one when it comes to firmware or updates from ubiquiti. 4.3.20 downgrade and disabling everything I could find in relation to Automatic updates was my solution.

I just installed this today. Thanks.
I had previously rolled back the firmware, but that didn't permanently fix the issue. It was still happening.
Hoping that this new firmware fixes it.

I had an issue last night but not sure if it was related. I'm on the RC firmware.

I had moved some APs to 4.0.80 firmware.

@CCWTech did it end up being unrelated?

I think so. Everything seems to be stable on the RC version. We have switched clients to the RC and they are not having issues any longer.

Our DHCP lease time is 3 days at the office that is affected.
A staff member was in the office all day Monday with their laptop. On Tuesday and Wednesday, they worked in different offices (with EnGenius WAPs using a different SSID/password.) This morning, she came back to the affected office and she couldn't get an IP address. Same DHCP problem. Unifi Controller shows the DHCP Timeout/Failure.
All of the WAPs are on 4.3.26.11358. The controller is atag_6.0.43_14348. We are using Ubiquiti EdgeMax switches (not Unifi Switches) because I need more control over our entire network. We are using a SonicWall TZ-500 router.
I have literally hundreds of locations with Unifi switches and SonicWall TZ routers. I have never, and will never, use their router in a business. The fact that I have lost 2 months over this issue, and it's still happening, is absolutely absurd.

Well I have used SonicWall routers and I will never use them again in a business or elsewhere.

The absurd thing is that you have not simply rolled back the firmware to the prior working version.
-
@jameswatt So are you saying this is a Sonicwall issue?

New Firmware released supposedly to address this
https://community.ui.com/releases/UAP-Firmware-4-3-28/a02af414-6665-4c57-ac03-6e4dac8317e1Improvements
- [UAP] Add support for adoption of UniFi SmartPower Strip (Early Access).
*[UAP] Improve DHCP compatibility, especially when using third-party or non-UniFi DHCP Servers.
Bugfixes
*[UAP-G2] Fix intermittent broadcast and multicast packet drop on gen2 APs, introduced in 4.3.24. This impacted users with non-UniFi DHCP servers which use broadcast for DHCP, along with IoT devices that rely on multicast for discovery.

It looks like tons of complaints with that release as well.

@CCWTech Well then
to be honest I have had the 4.3.24 Firmware with multiple networks and the ones failing are behind Sonicwall firewalls. We had some behind Sophos XG and Untangle and they are running fine. Even found out that the Amplifi from one of our customers fails behind a Sonicwall too with the latest firmware. Then if we move that Amplifi behind a Sophos XG, Untangle, Pfsense or even Edge Router it works fine. Very interesting. -

You obviously aren't following along. I've rolled back to the supposedly working firmware and it still does it.
Having this issue at multiple sites that were all set up within the last year. It wasn't as obvious at the other sites because the people don't leave with their laptops for days.
-
I've had zero issues with any firmware version recently.
The only issues I have had with UniFi is the changes to Control 6 and how VLAN is set up.
So much of the controller 6 GUI is expecting a damned USG.

I moved a test AP to 4.3.28.11361 yesterday. No issues experienced. I moved some additional ones this AM, and still no issue with DHCP like with the 4.3.24.x version
