Abstract

The IQ Engine v10.7.3 release notes provide a technical overview of new feature implementations, resolved issues, and outstanding problems for Extreme Networks hardware and management platforms. This release introduces advanced radio configurations for the AP5020, including dual-band and tri-band modes supporting 6 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies, as well as enhanced WPA3+WPA2-Enterprise transition mode across legacy and 6 GHz bands. Additional features include 802.11mc support and iBeacon cloud reporting for AP5020 models. The release also extends 6 GHz radio support to Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 access points in countries like Taiwan, the Philippines, and Pakistan. Key resolved issues address authentication timeouts for 802.1x SSIDs on MacBooks, AP302W kernel crashes, and QoS misconfigurations affecting WMM contention window values. Persistent known issues include WPA3 client association problems with band steering enabled and boot failures on AP devices using uncertified micro-USB cables. The document is designed for network administrators and engineers responsible for deploying and managing Extreme Networks access points, especially in environments utilizing the IQ Engine across various AP series models.
