Ubiquiti USG Pro Access Point Firmware 4.4.21.5080354 Description

Changes since last release version 4.4.18 as follows:

- RADIUS server - back end improvements to remove character restrictions on passwords. ' and " were not usable previously.
- IDS/IPS - Upgrade to Suricata 4.0.4, slight performance improvements, back end improvements and bug fixes
- Back end for port remapping in 5.8.x and newer controller versions
- Reduce CPU utilization of statistics gathering, resolves increased CPU usage some were seeing since 4.4.18
- Resolve memory leak in mcad
- Back end improvements for dnsmasq as DHCP server handling of hostnames of DHCP reservations
- Fix dnsmasq as DHCP server for networks other than /8, /16 and /24
- Disable deprecated SSH ciphers
- Fix source of increased CPU usage from mcad and ubnt-util in 4.4.18 and some previous dev versions.
- Remove "noccp" from xl2tpd configuration. It should not be necessary to disable, and some Windows L2TP clients want CCP.
- Removed offload scheduler which caused performance degradations with some configurations utilizing rate limiting user groups.
- Import FTP conntrack fix for FTP servers that use unusual formatting of their 227 message. Would result in a hung connection previously. Not aware of any real world encounters of the issue, as FTP servers that would be impacted are very rare, was discovered by commercial QA testing tools.
- Fix use of external guest portal through USG

USG-XG-8 Specific Changes:

- Updated LCM firmware
- Bluetooth back end updates
- Kernel version upgrade, resolves high and growing CPU usage from migration processes some were seeing
- Allow disabling autonegotiation on eth0 port

Upgrade WARNING:

- If using a VLAN tag on WAN, and on a controller version including port remapping (5.8.7 and newer), you should not upgrade to this version until upgrading to controller 5.8.12, 5.9.3, or newer. For that circumstance, USG must be provisioned by the newer controller version (which will happen automatically post-controller upgrade) before upgrading to any firmware version including port remapping support. 
- If you have GeoIP enabled and are not yet on firmware 4.4.18 or newer, disable it first, then upgrade USG, then enable it again. The configuration has changed in a way that limited unstable controller and previous firmware version combinations could result in an invalid configuration on the new firmware versions. In that circumstance, if the upgrade is performed with GeoIP enabled, the system will have to be reset to factory defaults post-upgrade.

Downgrade WARNING: 

- If you upgrade to any version supporting DPI without offload, disable offload (or enable IDS/IPS) and enable DPI, you cannot downgrade to a version that does not support DPI without offload. Either disable DPI, or enable hardware offload (or disable IDS/IPS), before downgrading. Otherwise you'll have to reset to factory defaults post-downgrade and adopt again.   

About Access Point Firmware:

If you update the Access Point (AP) firmware, your device can benefit from changes that fix multiple issues encountered by wireless clients, correct different user interface problems, add various functionalities, and include support for newly developed protocols.

Before performing this task, we recommend that you read and understand all the installation steps, because there are many AP models and manufacturers available. Each producer strives to make the procedure as simple as possible, but there are cases when it's anything but that.

It is also advisable that you apply a new access point firmware in a steady power environment (UPS unit will satisfy this need), using an Ethernet cable rather than a wireless connection. The latter can be easily interrupted.

With this in mind, if you wish to apply this version, click the download button and install the package on your access point. Remember to check back with our website as often as possible so that you don't miss a single new release.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
