    Hi @PeterUK
    USG60W firmware is working on ZLD4.72 version.
    VPN300 firmware is working on ZLD5.3 version.
    Since different firmware version build-in different AP-Controller, so management AP firmware version are different.

    But its the firmware for a AP WAX510D which I could get from here

    https://www.zyxel.com/support/download_landing/product/wax510d_14.shtml?c=gb&l=en&pid=20190701160006&tab=Firmware&pname=WAX510D

    I don't get why its different when the AP is being managed? Surely its the same firmware? I mean I could update the AP manually to V6.40 Patch 6 then back to managed right?

    Or maybe a new option is added to the AP that the old AP-Controller 4.72 does not know about that that the 5.3 does? Even so it should be easy to make the AP firmware compatible with both without the other options that the other don't support.

    So another question if you can't do the above is when the USG60W is EOL do I still get updates for the AP thats not EOL yet under the AP-Controller of USG60W?
