RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Another Cisco WLC Code Thread
Hi Britton, I have been looking into the same issue as we are going to 8540’s and need to support 1815W’s. We are running 8.2.166 on our production and after talking with TAC, it appears 8.5 train is the recommended for those needing the new features and new AP support. 8.5.110.0 fixes a few major bugs however I was told today that there is a new maintenance release for 8.5 coming out by end of January that may be worth the wait. Specific codes recommended by TAC inside each code train can be seen at: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/wireless-lan-controller-software/200046-tac-recommended-aireos.html#anc9. This bulletin is constantly updating depending on the monitoring and release of new codes. Hope that helps. I would be interested in knowing how your 8.5.110 experience works out.

With all of the bugs disabling several AP models, we have been holding off our code upgrade and wireless migration. I have a plan to move about half of our wireless APs off of a pair of WiSM2s to our new 8540's next week. We've had the 8540's up since the summer running on 8.4.100.0 seemingly without many issues. It's been pretty stable but there has only been about 80 APs on it for our Fall semester. That code release is now deferred and we've looked at going up to 8.5.110.0 which released just a few days ago. Release notes list the open caveats, and there are several that still impact the 3500/3600/3700 lines pretty hard. 8.6.101.0 released a day after, and its even more grim. Has anyone found anything stable? We have a pretty wide deployment of APs, but most of them are 3500/3600/3700s with a fleet of 702W/1810W in residences. We simply don't have the manpower to run around and console into APs that lose their marbles, and our time slot to move forward is narrowing by the day. And more importantly, I would like to sleep better over the holidays, like we all would I'm sure.
