Tim - Have you examined the performance data the AP collects about each client connection which is stored in the Mobility Conductor (fka MM)?
What does the Client Health metric tell you about each device? Are you aware of the CLI commands you can execute on the MM/AP to look at VERY detailed client connectivity characteristics? Don't remember the exact syntax, but it's in the neighborhood of ap debug client table and ap debug client stats. For example, you can pull debug stats on the Apple devices that will show how many packets Tx/Rx at specific WiFi data rates that the AP supports. You can look at retry frames. etc. -- David On Fri, Jun 4, 2021 at 10:18 AM Tim Tyler <ty...@beloit.edu> wrote: > Wifi experts, > > > > We are running Aruba MM with two controllers on 8.7.3.
