skar Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I guess most kits use auto channel assignment these days. Go figure what dear neighbours using, if above is the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzies Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Auto channel assignment doesnt seem to be very clever, it doesnt monitor for hidden ssid's. I guess thats a future improvement/reason to buy a new ap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skar Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Had one site where IP cams constantly jumped between 3 APs (mesh mode) causing video streams to drop. Problem was that when APs change to different channel cameras were looking for next nearest AP to connect. As it happens camera connects to weaker (distance wise) AP and stays there until AP change channel again or camera needs power reset/reboot. I had to set APs to static channels and assign what MAC addresses allowed on each AP, so cameras use only one strongest signal AP for their connection. Never got a call from Client after. So yea, I guess you right about auto channels not for every application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
