zf7942 - What is the most current firmware supported?

john_lancelot — Wed, 06 Aug 2014 21:22:07 GMT

First my network specifics:
I have only zf7942, zf2942, and zf2741 models in my network currently running firmware version 9.4.0.2.29.

When I look at https://support.ruckuswireless.com/pr... I see 9.4.3.0.16 as the latest before some 9.7.x consolidated firmware packages.

What firmware version should I be updating my ZD3000? (assuming the ZD will hand out the necessary updates to the zfxxxx access points)

Thanks,
Matt

Ha! Found part of my answer after searching more through your documentation... planning to upgrade to the recommended ZD3000 9.4.3.0.22 MR Software Release

https://support.ruckuswireless.com/an...
(Excerpt) However, all Zonedirectors support this (zf2942) Access Point till 9.4.3 MR firmware version and is not compatible with any firmware versions beyond this(eg:- 9.5,9.6,etc.,).

With the zf2741 and the zf2942 the last supported firmware is 9.4.2.0.29 - would these WAPs just keep their current firmware while the zf7942 would be updated?

Version 9.4.3.0.22 for your ZD3000 will support all your models of AP.

The 7942s will not connect with your ZD if you upgrade to 9.5+.
