Same SSID networks failing with multiple APs on differnet channels.

Same SSID networks failing with multiple APs on differnet channels.

Hello All,

 

I am running into an issue adding a WAC104 to my network.  The WAC104 is connected via a managed switch that connects back to a Nighthawk router.  Both the Nighthawk and the AP use the same SSID--say xyzNet.  Both devices are set to non-overlapping channels on 2.4, 5 gHz.  So from a basic stand point all of this should work. However anything that connects though the WAC104 WiFi will seemingly loose connectivity.  I don not have this issue using other wired devices going through the switch nor if i connect to a LAN port in the WAC104.  

 

My DHCP is set up on the Nighthawk and does have a few reserved addresses.  The WAC104 is set to an address in the same subnet 192.168.0.x  

 

For the life of me I can't figure out why devices drop off the WAC 104.  Any suggestions?

If you connect the wac104 directly to the router, does it work?
