AP > Wireless Client

Can you please make it so the columns are resizable and can be extended to show more of the Name / Mac Address? I constantly have issues finding devices because the name prepends the MAC and cuts off the MAC.

Thank you.

AP > Access Point > AP Details for a particular AP

You can set certain settings to Follow AP Profile or be Custom

Under Client Signal Strength Threshold you can only edit the number fields. It is missing the Disconnect client checkbox for each 2.4 and 5ghz.

Can you please add it?

Thank you

Will the issue with firewall rules not working, when one uses a Domain name as destination (see Ticket # 22020749) be resolved in 8.4.1 firmware revision?

Feature request: QoS bandwidth limits by WAN

Would be great to have more granular control and set bandwidth rules by WAN. For example, limit to a certain mbps on cellular but allow unlimited bandwidth on WiFi as WAN Use case: high bandwidth devices (such as streaming/TVs), can use higher/unlimited bandwidth while connected to WiFi as WAN but don’t want them eating a ton of mbps when no WiFi as WAN is available and connection is Cellular. Thank you for consideration

WiFi as WAN health failure, switch to a different SSID

I may have previously requested this but would be great to have a feature where if the health check fails on WiFi as WAN, the device will try the next best WiFi network/SSID (i.e. next saved network/SSID in the list that has the next best signal). The issue is the signal could remain excellent with the access point the Peplink is connecting to for WiFi as WAN but internet connectivity / link could be down on the back-end, thus WiFi remains connected to that SSID but health check fails and bring…

MAC address cloning for WiFi WAN/LAN

This request is in reference to: https://forum.peplink.com/t/changing-the-mac-address-of-wan-interface/ As of right now it appears one can change the MAC address of wired interfaces, and the last digit “0” is fixed. This feature request is to add the ability to change the MAC address of both wired AND wireless interfaces (when WiFi is being used as WAN and/or LAN) and allow it to be changed in its entirety without a fixed digit inserted. One should be able to change both a wired and wireless M…

@Chris, I’m checking this ticket and I will update shortly.

should the usage show for APs? i notice my router shows the usage in mbps but the APs all say 0 bps in incontrol?

[mbmike29]

The message, “RemoteSIM component is incompatible to the firmware, please contact distributor for support.” is back in beta 03. Installing the same firmware over top does not make it go away…

[Jonathan_Pitts]

Can you try to downgrade and then upgrade again?

[mbmike29]

Rebooting to beta 2, it was gone. Putting b2 over top of beta 3, it was still gone, upgrading to b3 again it’s back, upgrading to b3 a 2nd time, it’s still back.

[Jonathan_Pitts]

I would open a support ticket, they can likely upgrade the missing components.

[bryn.loftus]

Does beta 3 include the stability fixs in 8.4.0s071 / 8.4.0 b5766 and/or 8.4.0s083 / 8.4.0 b5778?
