Hello everyone,
We have recently switched our wifi setup to all Mikrotik CAP AX.
We are using CAPsMANv2 but we are experiencing some strange behavior in the following situations:
1. FT and FT over DS disabled - Device will connect to wifi but not to the closes AP, thus low performance and it can be observed that the device is on 2.4 rather than 5 GHz even thought band steering is enabled. Roaming does work but very slow and unreliable.
2. FT and FT over DS enabled - Device will connect to wifi, closest AP, initial performance is ok but after a couple of minutes the device begins to jump around APs even if they have worse signal / performance. We have some edge cases where the roaming happens so often that the device resuses to connect to wifi and dropps out of the network.
I have tried different variations of config and the issues do not seem to be linked to one particular device vendor. We observed this issues both on Android, iOS and Windows.
Attached the CAPsMAN configuration. All devices AP and CAPsMAN are on FW 7.14.1.
Are we doing something wrong here ? What else could we try to improve the situation of our wifi setup ?
