Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Internet Connectivity Issues
What AP models do you have? We're still on AireOS 8.5.144.33. The COS APs have been running pretty well for us. We've had intermittent issues on IOS APs though. The radios periodically reset and can't seem to clear some packets. Once an AP starts having issues the radio may even cycle every few minutes indefinitely. Do you monitor the AP syslogs? Here are the bug IDs for this: *CSCvp86151 IOS APs radio reset with code 44, mostly seen on 2.4GHz radio* *CSCvp66546 702w Radio reset due to tx stuck* The first one doesn't have a real solution yet, we're running debug images to capture more information. TAC says it might be related to high QBSS, but I saw an AP report high QBSS with no other APs or other known Wi-Fi sources above -80 dBm, so I'm not convinced. The 702W bug has a good debug image in place though. TAC found that stranded packets for clients in power save mode (mostly Murata or Samsung S10 devices) would accumulate in memory and after 60 seconds the AP radio resets to clear the packets. But the reset didn't clear them (or more accumulated) so it just continues resetting the radio. The fixed image discards packets that couldn't be transmitted after 20 seconds, without resetting the radio. It also has a counter that shows the number of times this was triggered and reset prevented Another thing that comes to mind is the issue with MacOS devices sending ARP replies for the gateway IP address. I haven't seen this one, but it sounds similar enough to your issue. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/aironet-3800-series-access-points/214491-arp-responses-for-default-gateway-ip-add.html On Mon, Sep 23, 2019, 6:33 PM Jason Cook wrote: > We have also experienced AVC crippling our network.

We have also experienced AVC crippling our network. Once the traffic volumes are higher than X. Performance goes south and can get to 0.

Are you running AVC? If so, you might try disabling. It has caused us no end of trouble in the past, similar symptoms. One man’s opinion from past experience.
