The AP is an old Apple TimeCapsule 4gen (model A1409) from mid 2011. The client is a "Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 7265" running the latest firmware available on OpenBSD 6.3-current. I'm not seeing any issues with any other clients (an old Apple TV, a Mac, a Playstation 4, phones and so on) and it also works on this machine when running Linux for example. I'll see if I can run some further testing and get some sort of tcpdump or so from the Mac perhaps and see how OpenBSD behaves compared to another client. Regards, Jesper Wallin
