hello
on the website of the wbe530 it is described that the access point can be managed via a local controller (https://www.zyxel.com/global/en/products/wireless/be11000-wifi-7-triple-radio-nebulaflex-pro-access-point-wbe530)
on a current ATP 500 5.38(ABFU.0) / AP Firmware V7.00 Patch 2 I cannot find this accesspoint in the firmware list.
When will this be possible?

thanks

Mario

    Hi @Mario

    The WBE530 will officially be supported by the AP controller in Q2 2025.

    Regarding the MLO function, it is currently available in Nebula cloud mode. For controller mode on the WBE530, support is planned for 2025, but an exact timeline has not yet been determined. To enjoy the MLO feature on the WBE530 as soon as possible, we recommend managing your WiFi 7 AP in Nebula cloud mode.

    Hi @Mario

    Yes, the WBE530 can be managed in controller mode. Since this model is newly released, it hasn’t been added to the current AP Controller firmware list yet. However, it will be included in the AP support list in a future firmware release.

    Please note that while the WBE530 is supported for controller management in the current firewall firmware (version 5.38(ABFU.0)), some advanced wireless features, like MLO(Multi-Link Operation), are not yet fully supported.

    Do you have an ETA?
