Looking for 200.10.10.5.229 Feedback

[daniel_m]

Hello community!

So is anyone here running 200.10.10.5.229 at home with great success?  I'm considering upgrading for the latest security fixes and to be on the "latest and greatest," but I am a bit worried about bringing too much "ruckus" to my home network in the form of incompatibilities due to too much IoT and other legacy wireless devices.

So, anyone here with a varied home network have "200.10.10.5.229" Just Work with no issues or have seen it improve things?

Cheers.

Good point. I will try 200.10.10.5.229 with 802.11r disabled and come back.

Yep, that's it: I disabled 802.11r and iPads are happy again.

@joachim_posegga I guess let us know if you run into any side effects as a result of disabling 11r. I understand it is supposed to help speed up roaming between APs, but I'm not certain how relevant it is today.

Well, I guess it's indeed not very relevant, since applications can handle network interruptions these days. Unfortunately I am not a good Guinea Pig with only 2 APs :-), but I will report observations.

802.11r speeds up reauthentication. When a client moves between APs, it needs to re-authenticate. 802.11r provides preauthorized key caching to reduce the amount of protocol handshakes upon reauthentication.

The benefit is much more noticeable on 802.11x (e.g. radius) authentication than for a fixed password key.  Also, it is more relevant for real time traffic (Voice calling? Zoom?).
