We were having APs reboot all over campus with unpredictable frequency. We had to upgrade. It wasn't a question for us.

If you have the new AP’s 1810/1850/2800/3800 then you should absolutely upgrade as it offers huge improvements across the board for those WAPs, including some fixes for client-side bugs.

We’ve been refreshingly stable on MR4, and not experiencing any of the resolved caveats so I’m leaning towards waiting until end of semester. Does anyone know of anything that rises to the level of a stand-out bug that is so common and heinous that it drives this to “should update immediately” status?

A “Kernel Panic”. AP loses its mind. Very prevalent on the new stuff, to a much lesser degree affects “older” stuff. Sometimes the reset fixes it. Sometimes not. We doubled down on 1810’s and 2802’s. Bugs galore. Which are actively being fixed-to be fair. We are running on engineering code and HUGE improvements have been made. Soon, I think/hope, it will be rock solid.

We also run a half dozen 5520s with 8.2.141.0 and they have been running solid with around 1k APs each and upwards of 10k clients. We do not however run anything but 2600, 3600, 2700 and 3700 APs. The only issue I have seen that I don’t understand well yet is related to some APs losing the minds during network interruptions. The APs will appear up from CDP neighbor information, but will have lost their name and will not connect to their configured primary or secondary controllers. A power cycle will often recover the AP, but not always. I believe that issue started with 8.2. Thank you.
