We use the frequency scan list on the stations to prevent them from associating
to the wrong AP. This will allow us in case of failure to redirect the
stations to another AP or the replacement AP.

Subject: Re: [Ubnt_users] replacing rocket w/sector antenna AP
Update, trying to balance the Rx dbm's at the AP first, by decreasing transmit
power at the CPE. Noticed that one of the trouble CPEs was connecting to
another tower with same name SSID even the the signal was 10 dbm weaker. So I
figured if all the CPEs were configured to lock to the AP mac, they would
transfer over to a new name for SSID. Ended up doing a lot of driving for
orphans. Not one of them accepted the new name, all were set to "lock to AP"
mac. I'm pretty sure with older firmware this used to work, is this a bug?
Have tried airControl2 in the past, could not figure out how to add new CPEs
after initial install. Dude is much easier to use.

I have replaced APs and just named them the same with same security and
they just connect
I.E.: had rocket with Omni named SSID: radio WPA2: 1234
Added a new section, installed 4 APs at New top, named all APs SSID: radio
same WPA2
Turned off Omni AP
As each CPE connected to new AP
Login to CPE change SSID to New name for the radio
Once all CPEs gone, change name of AP to New name, they all reconnect
That's what I do too. If things are working well, you could also use
airControl2 to do it by batch, but you need to ensure that all the CPE have
reliable connections and are responding properly first, or they'll get orphaned.
