    Hi,

     

    We have some iphone 7 users who are experiencing problems with wifi connection. We have two different types of APs: AP-303 and AP-365. AP-365 sitts on the warehouse and next to the warehouse are the officess which AP-303 resides. Users with iphone 10 does not experience this problem, there are only iphone 7 users. Does anyone had this issue before? Can this be related to the AP models? Are there any settings on aruba central that can help to solve this issue!

     

    Thanks in advance

    Does it always occur in the same place?  Did you use an iphone 7 to measure the signal in the area with the drops?

    Hi,

     

    Yes, it does occur always on the same area! Do you think this has to do anything with fast roaming or client match or anything like that that can be tweaked on the central?

    Make sure you have good coverage in that area.  If it is because of fast roaming, it should occur in other areas, as well.

    I did measure the coverage with ekahau and it look all green! Iphone 10 users does not have the same problem! Only those with iphone7! It looks like more of a compatibility issue and I am stuck here!

    Are you using encryption?

    Are you using both bands?

    What options are enabled for that SSID?

    We are using WPA-2 Personal key management. We are using both bands. 11ac and 11ax are enabled.

    802.11r, 802.11k and 802.11v are also enabled. MDID is set to 65001 (I dont have any clue about this what this might be).

    Try disalbing 802.11r as a test, so we can isolate the issue.
