mesh portal power

    I have a mesh network with 2 portals. Recently all points have been connecting to the #1 portal. I bumped the power on the #2 portal to max as a test and all the APs moved to #2. Am I correct to assume that by powering the #2 portal down slowly, eventually I will get an even distribution of points to portals?

    Have you changed the algorithm in the mesh radio profile? Typically the distributed tree option is supposed to take into account mesh portal load.

    I found that setting and it is set to the distributed model. 

     

    code: 6.3.1.7

    Nevermind, saw you checked that already

     

    #####

    Mesh Radio profile

     

    Config > Mesh > Mesh Radio > <profile>

    Also check your reselection-mode. What is it set to?

     

    Both portals are on the same AP group correct? Or are the two portals in different groups?
