I had to update my Cisco Aironets as well for the DST change. There isn’t much for controls in the web console to help you fix the issues. You can uncheck and check to use Daylight Savings Time but since it doesn’t think that DST applies yet that won’t help.

The #1 important product to have with any size business is a firewall […]
