The WDS between two WAC720 will stop working for a minute or two and come back a few times a day
the log states

I re-setup the bridges with new setting..but still will randomly drop the connection.
when it is up I am getting very good speeds!
thanks Glenn

Re: WAC720 WDS not stable
Hi redtech116,
As far as I know, there is no issue on the WAC720 like what you have described on your initial post. Kindly answer the questions below:
a. Are the 2 WAC720 within line of sight to each other?
b. What is the distance between the 2 WAC720?
c. How are the 2 WAC720 deployed? Are both mounted on the ceiling or on the side wall?
d. Are there any other wireless networks present within the area where the 2 WAC720 are deployed?
e. What is the current firmware version of the 2 WAC720?
f. Since you have tried to re-setup the 2 WAC720 and still the same problem, have you tried to perform a factory reset on both APs then reconfigure it from scratch then observe if same problem will occur?

Re: WAC720 WDS not stable
Hi redtech116,
Just want to follow-up on this. What are your observations when you changed the channel from 01 to 11 within the 2.4GHz band? Also, were you able to perform a factory reset on both APs then reconfigure it from scratch then observe if same problem will occur?

Re: WAC720 WDS not stable
it's not dropping anymore..still having a few episodes a day where pings will get slow and some packetloss but it returnes to normal in a minute or two..
I am going to be moving it outdoors an enclosure..I think it should solve the issues.
I have not done a full cleanout and re-setup.
