k/v/r support by APs

siddx

Hello, I have NXC2500 and 15 access points - 8x NWA5123-AC and 7x NWA5121-N
Station info shows that client supports k/v/r in "802.11 features" when connected to NWA5123-AC  and N/A when connected to NWA5121-N
Is in normal that NWA5121-N by fact don't support k/v/r? Will it change in the future or not? Maybe I am missing something? Thanks

Hi @siddx

As you know 802.11k/v/r are for fast roaming. 
NWA5121-N AP stays with 5.10 firmware version which doesn't support 802.11k/v features.
Although it doesn't support that,  but it support Pre-authentication and PMK-Cache by default, with both features, it is equal to fast roaming.

Thanks!

Hi @siddx

NWA5121-N legacy AP is a EoL product, so it stays on 5.10.

Thank you @Zyxel_Panda
Will they be updated to last firmware sooner or later or it is on 5.10 forever?
