I’m curious if the fix for 2.4Ghz client connectivity issue has been resolved in this release? I didn’t see this listed in the fixes or known issues section of the readme file. Back on October 10th the developers indicated they had not yet found a fix in the 7.1 codebase and were working with the chipset vendor.

The 7.1 codebase broke some 2.4Ghz clients connecting to both WiFi 6 and WiFi 7 Cambium access points.

What Firmware Should I use on a XV2-23T-B?

I was told to use the 7.x firmware on the B units as I had a problem with radios not coming on. But that gave me an EPSK issue I had to work around.
