The changes from 5.5.20>5.6.16 list will be updated later today, as this isn't a complete representation of the differences between the two branches.

Firmware changes from 3.8.9/4.3.49:

- [UAPG3] Major code base upgrade (codename Toronto). ua
- [UAPG3] AirTime and AirView support (SHD exclusive).
- [UAPG3] Switch to net-snmp, in preparation for SNMPv2 support (eventually v3 too).
- [ACG1] Fix WEP on 1st gen AC models.
- [EDU] Various fixes and improvements for the baresip client.
- [ACIW] Fix management VLAN support.
- [UAP] Add 802.11r support (excluding UAP-AC v1/v2 and UAP-AC-Outdoor).
- [UAP] Various MeshV3 improvements.
- [UAP] Add support for multiple WLAN schedule blocks per day.
- [UAP] Prepare management VLAN support for other UAP devices.
- [UAP] Improvements to RF scanning.
- [UAP] Improve reliability of receiving Framed-IP-Address attribute.
- [UAP] Disable multicast enhancements by default.
- [UAP] Various backend bugfixes and improvements.
- [USW] Fix a bug with the packet counter.
- [USL2] Update PSU features.
- [USW] Logging improvements.
- [USW] Upgrade code base to ES1.7.1.
- Improve 10G Base-T compatibility.
- Enhance Auto speed detect on SFP/SFP+ ports.
- [USW] Fix a bug with RADIUS VLAN provisioning.
- [USG] Implemented route metric changing on load-balance status changes. This fixes WAN failover issues with L3 adopted USGs, and improves multi-WAN failover functionality in general.
- [USG] Fixed multi-WAN regressions in 4.3.46-4.3.49 picked up from EdgeRouter 1.9.7.
- [USG] Implemented new local web UI on USG. Fixes a variety of long-standing bugs with the old UI, and adds ability to configure LAN IP and DHCP server.
- [USG] Updated ISC dhcp version. Looks to fix problems in some edge cases with multiple DHCP WANs and recovery after Ethernet link loss.
- [USG] Added back end for custom host-uniq for PPPoE.
- [USG] Fixes for some uses of multiple routing tables (nothing controller-provisioned does anything impacted by this, a small number use config.gateway.json VPN configurations which do)

Notes:

- As always, make a backup prior to upgrading.
- Windows users must have x64 Java installed as we only support 64-bit WebRTC library. Please see HERE and download the missing version (64bit offline Windows install package).
- You cannot re-use a VLAN ID for dynamic VLAN if it is set as a static value for another SSID on the same AP. So, if I have a SSID set to use VLAN 10, I cannot use VLAN ID 10 for RADIUS controlled VLAN users as those users will not get an IP.
- Smart Queue QoS is similar to the implementation as in EdgeOS (see HERE). Please note that DPI will not work when using QoS, as traffic will not be offloaded. It's also worth noting that maximum throughput will be affected when using QoS, as traffic is not offloaded. There are some rough guidelines in the article linked above.
- DFS channels can not be used for wireless uplink in the US. Please use non-DFS channels if you need to use wireless uplink on dual band UAPs.
- Official UniFi MIBs can be downloaded from HERE and HERE (those are 2 different files).
- We no longer support Java version 6, it needs to be 7 or later. We recommend Java version 8.
- Features like airtime fairness, bandsteering, load balancing and minimum RSSI are default disabled. If you need them you need to go to Settings>Site and check Enable advanced features.
- If you previously used Google Maps for a site map, then you have to enable this feature again by adding an API key. This is done under Settings>Controller. There is a linked guide with instructions.

Important Notes:

- The initial database migration will take longer than normal. It is expected to see mongo using most, if not all, of the available CPU cycles during this process. Please be patient, this process could easily take 15+ minutes, depending on the amount of historical stats, as well as the system specs. As always, err on the side of caution, and make a backup before upgrading.
- The controller will not start if it is set to bind to a privileged port (<1024), as it now runs as a non-root user. There are various ways you can fix this immediately, like authbind, although there may be better ways. We're considering options here.
- If your controller is running on a UniFi Cloud Key (UCK), make sure it is on firmware 0.6.4 or later, otherwise the controller will not start. This firmware is available via the normal upgrade mechanism found in the controller or it's local management page. Make sure to make a backup before upgrading the UCK firmware, as you'll need it to restore after, and it's good to have a backup on hand before any controller upgrade.

Known Issues:

- Manual site-to-site VPN status is not reflected on the UniFi dashboard widget. Currently it will look like it's offline, even when the tunnel is up.
- AirTime will not work if a radio is disabled and/or there isn't any SSID present. This will be fixed in a future release. If you enable it, and it still isn't working, then you may need to force a refresh without cache.
- If you start both a 2.4GHz and 5GHz scan in quick succession, then it will fail.
- It is expected that AirView will stop occasionally. A stop/start sequence should restore functionality.
- If you start an AirTime scan while AirView is running, then AirView will stop and you'll need to perform a stop/start sequence to get it working again. This will be fixed in the future.

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.
