Known Issues and Limitations

RDKB on EMU:

1) Wireless Protection Setup - When WPS in enabled, in few mobiles, after connecting to 2.4GHz or 5GHz SSID (either through WPS Push/Pin or Private Wifi), it disconnects after 5 seconds and again tries to connect. This cycle is repeated continuously.

2) When any wifi related settings (wps, editing ssid, changing password) is saved, losing ssh connectivity for 30 seconds after which it resumes. But in virtual box terminal, drop bear is always running.

Not Tested:

RDKB on EMU:

1) Xfinity Wifi Hotspot 2.4GHz/Xfinity Wifi Hotspot 5GHz - Not tested due to Network connectivity issue. This feature works with random IP at offshore and hence it is not validated.
