The challenge with testing FT, either "enabled" or "adaptive" is that it will most likely work with the few devices you can test with, but the minute you enable it and expose it to all your client devices, there will be some that will just not play nice. At that point you either revert your

The log “chatter: lat_client_add(422): Failed to add client” is documented in CSCvv78366. The release notes for 8.10.151 say that it is resolved, but it is not. From the troubleshooting I’ve done, even on MR5, it appears this bug is purely cosmetic. I have not had issues connecting to APs
