The silent reboot bug was hitting us. We were having APs reboot all
over campus with unpredictable frequency. We had to upgrade. It wasn't
a question for us.

I’ve been running various beta versions of MR5 in production and
have had no problems.
If you have the new AP’s 1810/1850/2800/3800 then you should
absolutely upgrade as it offers huge improvements across the board
for those WAPs, including some fixes for client-side bugs.

I just went through the release notes, am struggling with whether
to try to rush an upgrade during this week while Spring Break has
campus slower than normal. We’ve been refreshingly stable on MR4,
and not experiencing any of the resolved caveats so I’m leaning
towards waiting until end of semester. Does anyone know of
anything that rises to the level of a stand-out bug that is so
common and heinous that it drives this to “should update
immediately” status?

Bruce,
Engineering version 8.2.150.4 is, to my knowledge, what will
become 8.2 MR5. This is the code I’ve been running on and so far
rock solid.

Is the engineering code you are running, the same MR5 code that is
due to be released soon?

Short answer is it is a bug. A “Kernel Panic”. AP loses its
mind. Very prevalent on the new stuff, to a much lesser degree
affects “older” stuff.
Sometimes the reset fixes it. Sometimes not. We doubled down on
1810’s and 2802’s. Bugs galore. Which are actively being
fixed-to be fair.
We are running on engineering code and HUGE improvements have been
made. Soon, I think/hope, it will be rock solid.

We are currently running a handful of 5508s with 8.0.133.0 and
have been stable for some time with around 400 APs and upwards of
1.5k clients. We also run a half dozen 5520s with 8.2.141.0 and
they have been running solid with around 1k APs each and upwards
of 10k clients. We do not however run anything but 2600, 3600,
2700 and 3700 APs.
The only issue I have seen that I don’t understand well yet is
related to some APs losing the minds during network interruptions.
The APs will appear up from CDP neighbor information, but will
have lost their name and will not connect to their configured
primary or secondary controllers. A power cycle will often recover
the AP, but not always. I believe that issue started with 8.2.
Thank you.
Ken

access points whose minimum supported version is 8.2.110.0. I
was looking to the group for their recommendations on a stable
version of code which will support our new 2802i access points.
