When iPhones roams it is as their Internet stops and nothing happens on the iPhone for a while. It was like the apps just was waiting for data.... restaring the app sometimes helped. <br />I might have solved the issue! I thought that it might not be an AP problem, instead a Router problem.<br />Since every AP was connected to the router but on different ports I thought that maybe the Router gets confused when a device suddenly changes port and then the Router still tries the original port.<br />So, I removed all AP from the Router and connected them to a separate Switch and then connected the Switch to the Router port (using one port of course).<br />Now the problems are gone and roaming works!<br />Hope this maybe will help some of you.<br />Regards,<br />ClaesClaeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15427987345552421718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-74108655764343833252016-11-05T22:37:17.277+00:002016-11-05T22:37:17.277+00:00Hey guys,

I have another router same model and FW, connected with the main router LAN - LAN connection with cable for more coverage of wifi signal. All clients working well on wifi only Iphone is loosing wifi signal. In IPhone settings I see that it receives from the router wrong IP 169.254.x.x. Subnet mask 255.255.0.0. These are wrong numbers. My dhcp is set to 192.168.0.100-150 with 255.255.255.0 subnet. Also I use WPA2 PERSONAL. I tried many things that was previously mentioned above in this forum but no solution yet. However I did not try the Wpa enterprise yet. Is that solution working? If so is there any suggestion how to set up?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17953258585871772646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-49585308797626420482016-08-15T13:58:44.736+01:002016-08-15T13:58:44.736+01:00I noticed this. it's very annoying. better pos...I noticed this. it's very annoying. better positioning of the APs to optimise signal overlap and reducing RSSI to force switching helped but not enough.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08504211663056222944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-78202995976303047962016-08-14T06:48:15.677+01:002016-08-14T06:48:15.677+01:00If I find more I'll post on here.

I'm considering buying a pack of Ubiquiti kit from AA, but I don't dare go ahead as I'm reliant oniPads and iPhones and the whole point of the Ubiquiti multi-AP thing is to just work, seamlessly. Chris Boot describes a successful config. WPA enterprise was mentioned too, but I don't have the server tech needed to support it. Could AA publicise the state of play / progress on this issue?Cecil Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16477035597238561739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-83640182854291947602016-08-09T14:29:13.477+01:002016-08-09T14:29:13.477+01:00Thanks for this, before I read that I wasn't e...Thanks for this, before I read that I wasn't even aware there was a 802.11k, r or v.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10279287341003923509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-62846974142191870272016-08-08T14:46:33.951+01:002016-08-08T14:46:33.951+01:00https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT203068 is releva...https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT203068 is relevant to your interests - it documents how iOS chooses to change AP, if you're using WPA Enterprise.Simon Farnsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15190608047563530091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-45409823024209754042016-08-08T05:49:41.264+01:002016-08-08T05:49:41.264+01:00They dropped ZHO from the newest AP's (you wil...They dropped ZHO from the newest AP's (you will see it mentioned but it doesn't work) P.S you don't want to use ZHO anyway as per Fuzzycat's note.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07130834765377677579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-72764528582590960532016-08-07T20:03:25.467+01:002016-08-07T20:03:25.467+01:00I have a pair of UAP-AC-Pro units and have never h...I have a pair of UAP-AC-Pro units and have never had this issue.

One creates the network (different SSIDs for 2.4 and 5GHz), the other extends the 5GHz network over wifi for upstairs onto the cabled section of my network. Nearly all my traffic to my broadband goes over this wifi extended link, it gives very little trouble. My iPad Air2 is on the 5GHz SSID and gives no trouble at all, even though it moves between the two Extremes when I go between upstairs and downstairs.<br /><br />The only thing this setup does that I don't like is the upstairs Extreme doing the extending creates an extra 2.4GHz network using the 5GHz SSID and on a channel I can't control. When an Extreme is set to "Extend a wireless network" you get no control. I'd like to switch the bonus 2.4GHz network off.<br /><br />So to return to the point, it seems the iPad Air2 has none of the problems people are describing when it is used witn Apple's own APs, at least in "Extend a wirelsss network" mode when they're both on the same channel number. And this Air2 has mobile data with a Three SIM in it, so it's nothing to do with mobile broadband not being on the device.Owen Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00890951742186614705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-7127026729170977252016-08-07T08:17:30.414+01:002016-08-07T08:17:30.414+01:00+1 for Mikrotik.
