My AP802 started telling me (via SYSLOG) that it wasn't running the latest firmware (it was on 1.4.2, which at the time writing, was the latest version at draytek.co.uk ).

However, I could see version 1.4.3 on the 'international site' and used the AP802's gui to download it.

I started the firmware upgrade and some time after the warning to ("keep the power connected etc"), the AP802 crashed (huge register dump to SYSLOG, followed by reboot). I tried again and got the same result

Since it clearly wasn't some 'resource depletion' or other "attention seeking" that is cleared by a reboot - I tried re-installing 1.4.2, which succeeded (though it was at pains to point out that I'd achieved nothing :wink: ).
I now tried 1.4.3 for the 3rd time and it succeeded.

All very weird

I'm not sure what I've gained :-



What is a "master AP group ID and group key", when it's at home?

It's all explained here

Well it might have been, if Page 299 had been included - without it, that link is worthless

I assume it's support for some kind of centralised management function, in the future ... there's no sign of anything vaguely related, in the AP802 gui.

Ah - sorry about that. But it probably wouldn't have helped me even with the missing page :lol:

Curiously, this firmware (1.4.3) has still not been posted to the UK support web site ...

Still no sign, two months later
