Has anyone else seen this?
I have an ABAB site where some SMs couldn't register to the AP or see it in
AP Eval Data, but could see the opposite AP (same frequency, very low signal
level, different color code). I checked and the opposite AP was stuck on
iGPS despite having power port sync available. I power cycled the opposite
AP, which then came up on power port sync, and the SM registered to the
correct AP.
I still have these on 13.2.1 and maybe 14.1.1 will fix the "stuck on iGPS
sync" problem.
But how was the one AP masking the other? The only thing I can think of is
the sync was slightly different and somehow that prevented the SM from
seeing the beacons, despite the signal being much higher. The only other
unique thing about the config is these APs are on 5845 (10 MHz channel), so
they are on the highest available frequency. The power port sync is coming
from a CTM2 over 300 ft cables.
Changing out the SM didn't make a difference.
