Q6) I have Pseudo VLAN for Per Group enabled. Will updating to mSSID firmware still support wireless clients with MAC addresses listed in Per Group?

The mSSID firmware replaces Pseudo VLAN and integrates it into VAP (Virtual AP) and MAC Filtering.

Thus, Pseudo VLAN with its VLAN ID and MAC listing will be lost after updating to mSSID firmware.

Refer to the user manual on how to create new VAP with VLAN ID and MAC Filtering.

Similarly, Per Node (control to isolate wireless station in AP) being part of Pseudo VLAN will also be lost.

This option can be enabled again with the option "Station Isolation" in VAP setup page.

Q7) I have WDS setup in my network. Will mSSID still support this?

WDS has the limitation that it can only support WEP security key.

To support higher wireless security it is replaced with Repeater mode in mSSID firmware.

Thus, updating to mSSID will disconnect the WDS links and connections with the rest of the APs.

It is recommended to connect directly to each AP to update the firmware, then set to Repeater mode and configure it before updating the next AP. This way you can build back the connections.

Refer to the user manual for more details instructions on the setup. Updating to the mSSID firmware is not necessary if you do not need the higher wireless security support.
