WAC720 - not handing over

[ricey1986]

I have 5 AP's setup in Ensemble mode, all 5 are using external Antennae.

I have an issue where the maser AP (AP1) will not handle any WiFi clients. If a device is connected to AP2 and the user moves away from that one and towards AP1, the device never moves over to it. Even if they are right underneath the device and the connecion drops out. This is happening with all devices on the network. I have tried setting AP1 to use the internal Antenna, thinking it may of been them that was causing the issue, but the Web portal always shows 0 clients connected to AP1.

APs are running 3.9.0.3 firmware

Any ideas welcome

Hi @ricey1986 

Can you assign any static channel to your AP1 to see issue will be resolve or not (other than 36) ? We found something wrong in config migratated from previous version.  Please confirm if the issue is persistence even after changing the channel.

Thanks,
