Bad environment detected on Radio[0]:Channel[11] by AP Garage - WAC740
I am getting this error. Not sure why. Sometimes it goes down, sometimes it does not. Is it RF? Temperature? It is outside (well, in a garage, safe from elements... but not controlled), and curr...
It is clear for your Neighbour AP list that Channel 1, 6 and 11 are congested & the behaviour is expected in this kind of condition.
Below is the details shows that how many ap's are configured to a particular channel:
Channel-1 has configured with 17 AP's, 6 has configured with 10 AP's and channel-11 has configured with 13 AP's and all these are non overlapping channels so you left out with overlapping channels
You can select any channel from these 2,3,4,5,7,8,9,10, and make sure you use different channel for each AP.
Are you saying only with HPE Aruba 3810M our WAC740 is not powering via PoE? Are you using different switch for your previous setup?
Thanks,

I did not find anything where I could explicitly set each AP individually, as you were implying. Or, perhaps I misunderstood. I found channell allocation, however, and was able to turn off channels 1 and 11. That at least eliminated those channels. It seems like the controller automatically selected different channels for the APs. So, I think this is doing what you requested. With that said, I'm still getting environment errors, but just on different channels. Log attached.
I have this setup now:

It does appear I had two problems... One was the channel suggestion, which I showed as the "answer" for this post. The other was that my DNS settings were somehow erased from my router. I have corrected both, and it is working reasonably well. I still have problems with ipads disconnecting and reconnecting. That isnt right, but I have run out of energy to mess with it any more.
I will open a new post regarding the POE issue.
Thanks for your help.
