We have been having intermittent wireless issues for the last two weeks. We are running a Dell Branded Aruba W-620 and 5 AP105s. Last night I was working all by my lonesome and our wireless performance started to crawl, but under no load. I was the only user, and it would take two minutes for google.com to load. Wired, there was no lag, and I have verified our the quality of our physical link from the controller to our backbone numerous times this week to be sure. I logged into the controller, and rebooted the APs and that seemed to make a difference.
This morning, the same issue is occouring. I tried to log into the controller via HTML and it was unresponsive. I powercycled the controller, and when It came back up, it had a completely different WLAN setup. It had adopted the config of a temp network that I setup while doing diagnostics last week. I copied in the flash that I had backed up once I re-programmed the WiFi as needed and still, after reboot, the temp WLAN remained in place, as if the copy funtion failed (it reported sucess) or my backup was overwritten with a different file. :catfrustrated: :catfrustrated: :catfrustrated:
Our controller is running Aruba OS 6.1.3.1 build 32786, is there any chance that there is an OS update that I could perform? where do I monitor the status of OS updates and are there instructions on properly updating the controller?
I will see about obtaining a replacement controller from our Dell rep too... I cant have this kind of thing happening, and its frustrating because untill one week ago everything was solid.
thanks for the input.
