reboot on config change

Hi,

I am testing my first APs. I found out, when you change Config all access Points are rebooted.

This is a very bad behaivior. The AP should only reload its config.

The Admin must be able to add an ssid during the day, and not at night.

I hope it will be changed.

I think no vote needed. It is a must have.

If smart config not possible, and adding new AP without shutting down is not possible, nobody wants to sell them.

i absolutly agree with Maygyver.

This is a MUST have.
Adding SSID's, Changing PSK's on a SSID, normal administrative tasks should be done without a reboot og the AP's.

Wow, didn't realize that every AP is rebooted. This is not a feature request. This is a design shortcoming.

Add wireless support in astaro is a feature. Don't reboot all devices for small changes is a design flaw.

Regards
Bill

I have to agree; it is not a good thing to have to take services down to add or change configurations.
