ECW130

v1.3.75

[New Features]

  • Support for EnGenius Private Cloud (EPC)

v1.3.74

  • Fix the issue that AP sometimes goes offline even when the network is functioning normally.

v1.3.73

  • Fix the device online status issue where certificates may sometimes disappear after device firmware update.

  • Fix AP sometimes getting offline upon device firmware updates, requiring a reboot to get AP online.

  • Fix AP offline issue caused by UTF-8 device name.

  • Resolve the issue of a full system reload occurring when adding/deleting MyPSK Users.

v1.3.72

  • Add multi-language support for System Name in LSP--You can modify the name of your AP from the cloud page where multiple languages are supported. Any changes made will synchronize to the LSP page “Device Overview” -> “System Name” field

  • Update LSP web GUI style--We've revamped the LSP web GUI with a sleek and modern design, enhancing visual appeal without compromising any of the existing LSP functionality. Enjoy an updated interface that not only looks stylish but also aligns with contemporary design standards, providing a more visually pleasing and user-friendly experience.

  • Support shaping policies or block schemes on a per-application basis--Elevate network management with our SSID traffic throttling feature, now upgraded to customize bandwidth limits for specific applications such as YouTube, Apple iCloud, Facebook, Netflix, Apple App Store, and Line, etc. Facilitate enterprise clients to efficiently allocate limited bandwidth, ensuring optimal service delivery for a larger clientele.

  • If mDNS forwarding is enabled, BCMC suppression will not block mDNS packets.

  1. mDNS (Multicast DNS) Overview:

    mDNS, or Multicast DNS, is a protocol that allows devices on a local network to discover and connect to each other without the need for a centralized DNS (Domain Name System) server. It enables automatic assignment of domain names to devices, making it easier for users to access services on the network without manual configuration.

    In practical terms, mDNS simplifies the process of identifying and connecting to devices such as printers, smart home devices, and other networked services within a local environment. Instead of relying on traditional DNS, which typically involves a central server, mDNS uses multicast packets to resolve domain names to IP addresses directly on the local network.

  2. BCMC (Broadcast/Multicast Control) suppression Functionality:

    On the other hand, BCMC, or Broadcast/Multicast Control, is a feature designed to manage and control the impact of broadcast and multicast traffic on a network. Broadcasting and multicasting can lead to increased network congestion and reduced efficiency, especially in large-scale deployments.

    BCMC helps address these challenges by suppressing or controlling unnecessary broadcast and multicast traffic. By doing so, it ensures that the network operates more efficiently, reducing the risk of bandwidth saturation and enhancing overall performance.

  3. Interplay between mDNS and BCMC:

    In certain network scenarios, there may be a potential conflict between mDNS and BCMC functionalities. By allowing mDNS packets to pass through when mDNS forwarding is enabled, the network ensures that devices can continue to discover and communicate with each other seamlessly using the mDNS protocol. This synergy between mDNS and BCMC functionality aims to strike a balance between efficient network management and the need for smooth, decentralized device discovery and connectivity in local environments.

  • Client List supports more OS types - Meta VR devices, Honeywell IoT device…etc--Clients List feature now includes expanded compatibility with various operating systems such as Meta VR devices, Honeywell IoT devices, and more. To ensure ongoing accuracy and relevance, we regularly update our fingerprint identification system. This proactive approach allows us to seamlessly integrate newly released devices into the Cloud Clients List page, ensuring that you have precise and up-to-date information about connected clients.

  • SSID on LAN : support AD and LDAP captive portal authentication.

v1.3.65

  • Update openssl version (from 1.1.1n to 3.0.9) to support TLS1.2

  • Optimize captive portal re-authentication with backup cache.

  • Improve client balance background scan algorithm: optimize the algorithm flow by reducing unnecessary actions in client balance background scan algorithm to increase the efficiency.

  • Set BCMC suppression enabled by default. Enabling BCMC suppression may eliminate unnecessary broadcast and multicast packets from Ethernet to wireless interface and result in less wireless interference.

  • Set min. bitrate value as 12Mbps for each radio interface. Higher minimum bitrate value can help reduce the client connections with lower signal strength and result in faster roaming to other AP to avoid AP sticky connection issue.

v1.3.61

  • Fixed traffic log for wrong format issue.

  • Fixed abnormal banned message displaying when message length is more than one line.

  • Don't force disabling accounting server in voucher service.

  • Fixed Wi-Fi crash issue in v1.x.60 FW which caused system reboot.

  • Adjust DHCP Discover-packet sending scheme when both L2 isolation and portal are enabled.

v1.3.60

  • Update channel spec to v230404.

  • Revise L2-Isolation to allow broadcast and multicast traffics to go through.

  • Add a new function for channel candidate list.

  • Enhance Application Analysis to support per-client statistics.

  • Disable default open Management SSID.

  • Enhance DCS mechanism to support CSA (Channel Switching Announcement).

v1.3.56

  • Fixed vulnerability issue (CVE-2022-38546).

v1.3.55

  • Support SNMPv3 with multiple user accounts.

  • Support application blocking feature.

  • Support 802.11r in more security types:

(a) WPA3 Personal (SAE)

(b) WPA3-Personal/WPA2-PSK mixed

(c) WPA3 Enterprise with suite-b disabled

v1.3.51

  • This f/w version is for the first release.
