Are they apple client devices or is it any wireless client devices ? +1 also on Jason H 's comments on general config. Also do you clients hook to multiple AP's (e.g same SSID) as they walk around the building ?

We're seeing weird issues with our Mikrotik client routers in deployment, specifically with the 2.4GHz wireless on the hAP and hAP ac lites. This issue we're seeing seems to affect the 2.4GHz wireless card (Atheros AR9300 in both models) but does not affect the 5GHz card in the ac lite. Customers are reporting to us the inability to connect to wireless at times, such as invalid security key or failure to connect messages (depending on the customer device). The wireless interface itself will show as running, but with no clients connected. No error messages are indicated in the log about exchange key timeouts or anything similar, like you'd expect. Doing anything that performs a soft-reset like operation on the wireless interface will allow the customer to connect again for a period of time. This can include: - Doing a wireless scan. - Doing a frequency usage scan. - Changing channel. - Changing SSID. Basically any option you can change will fix it, even rebooting the router. We've tried all different types of software from 6.39 through 6.41, even the latest rc (6.42rc35). We've seen this issue for at least three months now, if not longer. It's not isolated to a particular site either, as we receive reports daily from other customer locations with the same issue. Initially we thought it was interference, but even then we have customers with very low utilisation and still seeing this issue. We have reported a case with Mikrotik, but their most recent suggestion was to post in the forums to see if anyone else was experiencing this issue (which surprised me, generally they direct you to support if you write this sort of stuff in the forums) Below I've included a brief output from the router showing the way this interface is currently set up. Have any of you seen this type of issue on either this wireless card or others? /interface wireless security-profiles add authentication-types=wpa2-psk eap-methods="" mode=dynamic-keys name=wlan1 supplicant-identity=room-403 /interface wireless set [ find default-name=wlan1 ] adaptive-noise-immunity=ap-and-client-mode band=2ghz-b/g/n country=australia disabled=no distance=indoors frequency=2462 mode=ap-bridge security-profile=wlan1 ssid="Room 403" wireless-protocol=802.11 Regards, Ben _______________________________________________ Public mailing list Public@talk.mikrotik.com.au http://talk.mikrotik.com.au/mailman/listinfo/public_talk.mikrotik.com.au
