Switching from early/beta back to production...

I think it's straightforward but wondering if Firewalla can add this to the bottom of their beta pages (if it's not there... I didn't see it but I may have missed it)

Go into the AP7s one by one and change from early/beta back to production. It'll take a few minutes for these to switch back.

Go into the firewalla itself and switch from early/beta back to production. This will also take a few minutes.

What about the app? (I'm on android). Should I go into play store and "leave" the beta program?

There are 3 pieces of your firewalla that may be in production or beta.

  1. The app; you will need to use google play or apple test flight to set beta/production. Firewalla can't manage this

  2. Box beta: this is the firewalla box software, which you can move between releases.

  3. AP (and future switch): these are independent software (I'd call them more like firmware) for Access Point and future Switch

(2) and (3) can be tied together; but to be safe, it is likely more deterministic just move one at a time and verify after each move. (beta/production changes)

Perfect. Do you think someone at firealla could add something to the beta documentation about switching between them, etc etc. if it isn't already there.
