AFAIK 8.6 will be the first to support the complete 802.11ax suite.  While 8.5 provides support for the 500-series and their WiFi6 components, they are incomplete.

So we'll all eventually be there, for now they're concentrating on getting 8.5 stable.

All I wish for is that one day they'll have a version that they think is stable enough to call a conservative release and which supports the AP515 (which they started selling more than a year ago.

They have an 8.6.0.3 out as well.  Does anyone know the logic of who should want to be using 8.6 code vs 8.5 code.  I guess I didn't know that logic for 8.4 code either.  We switched to that when we bought some AP515's, and then I switched from the 8.4 branch to the 8.5 branch when it seemed like the consensus on this list was that lots of people were having trouble with 8.4 and were having better luck with 8.5

    Antonio,

    Thank you for feedback.  I really hope this version is stable. 
    The 8.5 code has been quite challenging.  Please let us know if
    you experience any major issues.

        We just upgraded to 8.5.0.7 this past Friday so far so good.
        We also experienced two of our MDs crash and we had to take
        one MD out of the cluster due to it being unstable. We had
        been running 8.5.0.5 without issues, no new MD crashes. Aruba
        stated the crash was due to a corrupt AMON packet. I
        reintroduced the MD that was offline without issues and then
        upgrade the cluster to 8.5.0.7.

            At the University of Minnesota, we're running 8.5.0.5 in
            production. We have 8.5.0.7 in our lab. No issues with
            8.5.0.7 so far. Been running close to a week, but not a
            lot of users on campus.....

                Hi Everyone,

                We are an Aruba wireless shop currently running
                ArubaOS 8.5.0.1 on an Active/Standby MM pair with 4 MD
                controllers.  Ever since we upgraded to the 8.5 code
                we've encountered several critical issues requiring
                upgrades, and subsequent downgrades, between various
                8.5.0.X versions. We have been on 8.5.0.1 for the
                better part of the school year as it has been the most
                stable for our environment.  A couple weeks before the
                COVID-19 crisis, 3 of our 4 MD controllers randomly
                crashed.  TAC is now recommending that we upgrade to
                8.5.0.7, which was released last week.

                Are there any universities on this list that
                have recently upgraded to 8.5.0.7? If so, what has
                been your experience?

                I understand most campuses are only seeing a fraction
                of the normal wireless traffic load as most students
                are currently not on campus - so any feedback would be
                greatly appreciated.
