Does this sound like any kind of a known issue?
I have a 450 AP that has been in service for about a year that has started
intermittently becoming nonresponsive from the Ethernet side (can't access
GUI, doesn't pass traffic). I thought Ethernet problem, but neither the AP
nor the switch shows any errors or events. It is more like the CPU is going
to sleep or something, but the Ethernet chip is still active. I don't see
anything in the Event Log though.
We missed applying the Lite to Full license key on this AP and I thought
maybe that was the problem since it was at 10 SMs, but I applied the license
key and still see the problem.
The weird thing is, if I set the Freq to None, or set the color code to
something we don't use, the AP doesn't seem to exhibit the problem. Only
once SMs start registering.
I'm thinking it's maybe a power starvation issue, that the AP uses more
power when actively talking to SMs, and maybe it's not getting enough
voltage.
But I also see the firmware is still on 13.2.1.3, and I see Cambium finally
released 14.1.2 official. I am hesitant to upgrade the firmware though,
unless there is some reason to believe what I am seeing is a firmware bug.
Otherwise I am just adding to the confusion.
