Interfering AP with lots of clients...

    We have been getting some recent reports of connectivity or slowness in a couple locations on our aruba network, and have not really found or been able to duplicate these issues.  But something came up around the same time that is interesting.  We always see a couple "Interfering" APs (we are in a residential area...) but recently we have two listed that show unusually HIGH number of associated clients.

    To add to this every minute or two the channel changes on the 5Ghz band.  

     

    Is there any way to get more information about this AP or an easy way to identify what APs can see this BSSID?  Not sure if it is related to my original issue, but both started popping up around the same time.

    Run the command “show ap active” and check if the Aps are running 80Mhz channels
    E+E = 80 + 80 MHz (i.e. 36E+149E)
    If that’s the case you need to go to the ARM profile and disable 80 Mhz and potentially consider using 20 Mhz

    We are on all 20Mhz channels with HT and VHT enabled.

    That would seem to be adhoc airplay.  Please see the thread here:https://community.arubanetworks.com/t5/Wireless-Water-Cooler/bssid-of-00-25-00-ff-94-73-showing-up-as-interfering/td-p/204387
