I have not been able to pinpoint a device type as of yet. It seems to be happening across all platforms including game systems.

We’re having more incidents of intermittent connectivity issues this year than in previous years, and most of those clients are making questionable roaming decisions. It’s been really prevalent with iOS and MacOS. Much less on Windows and Android. There’s always been problems with picking a good radio when those devices first connect, but, historically, once they were steered to a good 5GHz radio they stayed there. They’re not staying there this year. We haven’t figured out why. Chuck Enfield Manager, Wireless and Cellular Penn State IT 814.863.8715 From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Community Group Listserv <WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU> On Behalf Of Mallon, Jason Sent: Friday, October 09, 2020 10:30 AM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Client roaming Wondering if anybody else is seeing this. We currently have devices doing a lot of roaming between 5 and 2.4 radios, especially in the dorms. I would not think anything of it normally, but they are moving from a -52 to -58 on the 5 radio to a -75 or worse on the 2.4 radio. This doesn’t seem to matter what SSID they are connected to. Band select is enabled on all SSIDs. We are running Cisco 8540 WLCs on 8.10.130. Most of the complaints are coming from the dorms, so I am not sure if it is happening on our other controllers with an older code level.
