  • 1.  Issues with 215 and 225 AP's

    Posted Feb 06, 2021 02:01 AM

    I am currently running 8.5.0.3_72498

    I do not have a support contract but my new IAP-215's appear to have a newer version of the firmware or an autonomous version.  All the AP's do have the warranty that expires in 2041 or whatver.  I can't use auto update automatically or I get "Received no Response from Server"  DNS and Gateway settings are correct.  My certificate under "Maintenance->Certificate and they all expire in 2030 or later. 

    Is there any way someone could provide me with Centaurus_8.6.0.7_78215 or 8.5.0.11_77244 you would be a LIFESAVER.  I've always been able to download direct from Ubiquiti before but they changed their download system.  It shows I can download the firmware but then errors out and says to try again in 24 hours.

    Any help appreciated!  Currently dead in the water with this project.  If I can't get a hold of this firmware I may rethink using Aruba as my company standard.

    Please work with your partner or supplier as they are your first point of contact. Direct firmware downloads are officially only for customers that have a support contract on their APs. Your partner or supplier should be able to provide you with firmware if you are eligible.

    Only specific releases are accessible for life-time warranty customers and I'm not sure if 8.6.0.7 is part of that as it is the very latest release.

    However, what I have seen is that if you request an account to asp.arubanetworks.com, you probably will have access to the latest firmware.

    AP Warranty covers hardware defects, not code upgrades.

    I believe there are support contracts available for IAPs to cover software upgrades and support.
