Re: Slow Upload Speeds (CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS)

Fixed!! Well, at least, speed fixed. Mystery remains in some ways. I swapped the uplink SFP, a 10gtek part, with another SFP, also a 10gtek part of the same number but different revision. No idea why this fixes the upload, they negotiate to the same speed, have the same status lights, etc. But now I...

Re: Slow Upload Speeds (CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS)

Ok, I tested on the switch eth (built in) port using a laptop, and it was the same - fast download, relatively slow upload. Very strange! I'm kinda out of ideas here.

Slow Upload Speeds (CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS)

Man, this is just bewildering. I have gigabit up/down. Laptop direct to the ONT (FIOS), I get about that. Every wired device on the network, the router itself included (btest/speedtest), gets significantly throttled upload speeds, somewhere between 4mbps and 40mbps, when it should be 800+mbps. I've ...

Re: Mesh vs. Separate APs (yet another handoff discussion) [SOLVED]

Update: I finally had a moment to implement steering and fast transition, and it works great. Wonderful resolution, extremely robust handoff.

Re: Mesh vs. Separate APs (yet another handoff discussion) [SOLVED]

You are looking for 802.11r/k/v, for that you need to set up fast transition and steering . Properties related to 802.11r fast BSS transition only apply to interfaces in AP mode. WiFi interfaces in station mode do not support 802.11r. For a client device to successfully roam between 2 APs, the APs ...

Re: Mesh vs. Separate APs (yet another handoff discussion) [SOLVED]

Interesting, I didn't know about this! I'm using CAP AX (for the APs) and I have a CCR2004 for my network core router. I'll read up on this protocol, thanks. The only real concern I have is capsman, since honestly, it's always been more trouble than it was worth, but perhaps that can be overcome.

Mesh vs. Separate APs (yet another handoff discussion) [SOLVED]

I have two wired APs, ap1 and ap2, connected to a router and configured on the same SSID with different channels. Performance is great, and I've optimized power to ensure coverage is appropriate. Handoff still sucks. When you travel from one to the other, we're talking 1-3 seconds of chaos in the er...

DNS Issues in Station Mode [SOLVED]

I've had this HAP ax2 in Station Mode for a while now, and it works great. I'm basically using it to get ethernet-only clients a wireless connection. However, the DNS has never worked for the HAP ax2 itself. Works for the clients, that's just passthrough, but the HAP ax2 has no resolution. This, of ...

Re: Clients of Station Bridge not getting DHCP

Yep, that was the issue. Thanks a lot. I also removed DHCP client from the wifi1 interface and made it a static address for management, since DHCP client was unhappy with a passthrough interface being bound to it, which is no big deal.

[SOLVED] Clients of Station Bridge not getting DHCP

Ok, so I have this HAP ax2, and it's connecting in station-bridge config without issue to my wireless network. Clients on the ether ports of the HAP ax2 aren't getting DHCP, though... the ether interfaces are just one big bridge. Any ideas? Here's the configuration, it's pretty straightforward: # 20...

Re: cAP ax + CCR2004 + wifiwave2 + CAPsMAN

Ok, so this might be interesting. I basically got tired of trying CAPsMAN and decided to simply try the same configuration on one of the APs directly. I know the quickset works fine on these APs, so the radios do work, but, unfortunately, that configuration I tried in CAPsMAN before causes the same ...

I have been running my CCR2004 with a couple cAP XL ac devices for a long time, very stable, no issues at all. I recently replaced both my APs with cAP ax, and installed wifiwave2 on my CCR2004 to support them. I configured CAPsMAN in wifiwave2, but the cAP ax simply aren't provisioning. I'm sure I'...
