    Posted Apr 29, 2013 01:07 PM

    Has anyone tried this?

     

    Does anyone have any links to information as to what it includes - changes?

    As usual HP is making it difficult to find information.

     

    Why does HP not like us?  What have we done wrong?

     

    Thanks to the forum people for providing support for HP wireless products!

    so has anyone tried this yet?

    I can't access the download because the hp website says my product is out of warranty - but it's not.

    The software is not quite stable yet, so you d'better wait until it's no early available software anymore.

    Hi ismgr

     

    Do you have SW contract for the controller?

     

    If yes, don't try to download from My Networking portal. Instead go to http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c02665350 for instructions. The page contains a link to Software Support online -portal which you use for devices under SW contract. Using wrong portal is the most common reason why FW download fails with this error.

     

    As was mentioned FW 6.0 is currently under Early Availability state. EA releases are intended for testing out new features before deploying to production network. Using it in a production network should be done with caution, as all issues which are fixed in 5.7.2 and above are at the moment known issues with 6.0.

     

    If you currently have a stable wireless, don't go to 6.0. If your current isn't working properly, call support and we'll see what we can do about it.

    Firmware v.6.0.1 is now available and includes the 5.7.02 and 5.7.0.3 fixes. Seems to be stable.
