MR 29.7 Release Notes Posted

[mloraditch]

It's not appearing available to install yet, but I discovered the release notes paging through firmware versions.

Important note

• While Meraki APs have traditionally relied on UDP port 7351 for cloud communication, and TCP ports 80 and 443 for backup communications, with MR 28+ we are beginning the transition to using TCP port 443 as the primary means for cloud connectivity. In order to ensure proper connectivity to the Meraki cloud after this upgrade, please ensure that all “Meraki cloud communication” traffic specified in the "Help" > "Firewall Info" page is allowed through any firewalls or security devices that are deployed upstream of your Meraki APs. These requirements have been updated in November of 2022, so it is important that you review them. (Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E APs)

Legacy product notice

• When configured for this version, MR12, MR16, MR18, MR24, MR26, MR32, MR34, MR62, MR66, and MR72 will run MR 26.8.3

Bug fixes

• In high capacity wireless networks APs may experience instability when the “Client Balancing” or "Band Steering" feature are enabled

Well spotted, it does seem strange as 30 is about to be on the 4th beta and working well (I'm typing this through a 30.3 setup). It also purports to close bugs from 2022, which whilst good, seems a little slow...

But then MS15 is still receiving many updates whilst MS16 is around.

Choices, choices!

I'm more in shock that someone beat you to the release notes post @CMR 😉
