Thank you for the information. I´m happy to hear that the issue seems to be solved in the 12. firmware. I have one question concerning the 8. firmware though. You have mentioned that the patch hasn´t made it into 8.10.0.11, is that the version which is being continued? As far as I know, our IT has already installed 8.12. Or is it possible that there will be a 8.13 adressing the Miracast issue?

Glad to hear 10.5.1.1 seems to address the problems your folks are experiencing. Please keep us updated if something changes.
The patch for AOS-251742 did not make it into 8.10.0.11 and is still listed as a known issue in the RNs.

10.5.1.1 (10.5.1.1 Release Notes) was released and I applied it to AP's over the weekend.
Fingers-crossed, the usual folks I turn to are seeing a marked difference with this firmware applied in the performance of being both connected to Wi-Fi and Wireless screen (Miracast or vCast Receiver to Viewsonic Viewboard(s)) at the same time!
What is odd, the Bug ID: AOS-251742 is mentioned as fixed in the notes but it's description has no reference to the issue being discussed here.
AOS-251742 and AOS-252082
When a user upgraded from ArubaOS 10.4.0.2 to ArubaOS 10.4.0.3, high latency was reported while accessing the stock application on the client connected to AP-515. The issue persisted even after upgrading some sites to ArubaOS 10.5.0.1. The fix ensures that the client operates with no latency.
I can confirm that we did upgrade our AP-505 (we do not have 515's) that were originally firmware 8.7 (out of box)... to 10.4... and finally to 10.5.0.1 (in the hopes of fixing this issue) to now finally just yesterday 10.5.1.1.
Also (David) Aruba OS 8 was released as well (8.10.0.11 Release Notes). Maybe there is an answer for you?
AOS-251742 and AOS-252082
Users experience increased latency in applications with short, bursty traffic patterns when connected to APs. This issue is observed in AP-515 and AP-505 access points running ArubaOS 8.10.0.8 or later versions.

Do you know whether there will be only an update for the version 10. of the firmware or also for the 8. ? As I heard HP wants to continue the support of the version 8. as well. As our school is not not allowed to use version 10. firmware because of its cloud necessity we´re stuck on version 8. and the speed drop while broadcasting via miracast is really annoying.

Yes I have a AOS Bug ID. AOS-252437
Ive spent 2 hours with Aruba support today trying workarounds to the current firmware with no luck. They are still working on the updated firmware with the fix it it. It is currently being tested in the labs apparently.

AOS-250572 which you've pasted in the description for fixes a multicast roaming issue. I don't think it will fix this Miracast issue. Does anyone on this thread have an AOS bug ID associated with their TAC cases?
Device Designated Gateway (DDG) is to AOS 10 as AP Anchor Controller (AAC) is to AOS 8 https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/central/2.5.7/content/aos10x/cfg/gw-clust-tun-orch/gw-cl-architct.htm.

I see firmware 10.6.X.X was released, in the Release Notes under Resolved Issues saw this;
Clients experienced audio failure during multicast for group communication when roaming between APs within the same gateway cluster (Device Designated Gateway). This issue occurred due to incorrect internal device information stored on the AP. This issue was observed in AP-515 access points running ArubaOS 10.5.0.1 or later versions. The fix ensures proper device information updates during roaming, preventing audio failure.
Not the same thing but intriguing.
I have not installed the firmware but thought about giving it a shot. I am not totally sure what a "Device Designated Gateway" is either.

No improvement on 8.12. Guess we will have to wait for an update from Aruba on this.

Any update ConnorH? It is a bigger issue here than I realized and people are doing work arounds that I wish they did not have to do. Thanks.

Following on from this, we had the same issues on AP-505s on the 8.11 Gemini Firmware when trying to Connect to a wireless display from various different windows laptops whilst connected to the APs. Connection speed drops and the frame rate on the TV is really poor and disconnects. Connecting via a Mobile phone Hotspot and it works fine.
I have upgraded to the 8.12 Firmware and will be testing later today.

I have 515APs and when not doing miracast broadband speed tests show 300mb, when on miracast it drops to 2mb. Tested other model of AP (315) on same version and fine. Also 515s at a site with older firmware, again fine. So the issue appears to be the 500 series APs on 8.10.6+ firmware version as previously mentioned above.
It was requested I send over the below which I did
- Tech support logs from the individual AP before and after starting a miracast transmission
- iPerf logs for the laptop contacting a desktop computer.
- OTA captures from an apple device for the wifi channel in use whilst trying to miracast
All the logs sent over and they have identified the issue:

Hi @DSapseid, what issue did you report?

I have also been having this issue. I opened a TAC case a month or so ago and have been back and forth with Aruba since. I have sent over lots of logs from differnet devices and software applications as per their request and they have come back and said they beleive they have found the issue and are working to resolve it.
Heres hoping to a new version of the firmware being released soon!

We have a TAC open, but it's been 3 weeks and I wanted to put this out here - any direction would be much appreciated!
We are a public school district which has been using Aruba since 2016. We had 200-series APs in a controller environment and upgraded over the holidays this winter to 500-series APs using Aruba Central. In every classroom in the district, we have miracast devices (Microsoft wireless display adapters) which allow our teachers to project wirelessly from their Windows 10 laptops to their projectors. Miracast, as I understand it, using the wireless NIC and both 2.4 & 5GHz, but is a point-to-point connection: https://www.wi-fi.org/discover-wi-fi/miracast .
Symptoms: as soon as we press Windows K to scan for devices to connect to, the laptop's network slows to a crawl (ping -t response times shoot up; speedtests fall to under 1M). Essentially, teachers cannot project.
Laptops: we have multiple models of Dell 5310 & Lenovo windows 10 laptops showing the problem, all using Intel AX201 160Mhz NICs. We've updated drivers and operating systems. Test laptops do work fine in other school buildings.
Location: only occurring in one school building out of 8. Problems are throughout the building, but seem to be concentrated on higher floors (whether that is related to the height, a physical aspect of the floors, the switches, or VC's, I don't know). This is the only building which is tall. It is also close to the hospital and state emergency communications towers (we are in the capitol city); there is a small airport and an Army national guard base about 2 miles away.
Another district in another area of the country is having the same problem, and also has Aruba equipment. I know this because an engineer from Screenbeam responded to a thread I posted on another forum and gathered data for us to help troubleshoot his client's problem; you can see our session in this video .
Theories so far: DRC interference; seen as rogue device; switch configuration in this building.
