I know that there is already a lot of content about how to properly configure wifi APs in this forum, but still, I am experiencing multiple issues in my setup and am still struggling to configure them.
I have 1000 square meter space with 4 cAP ax (one in each corner).
I don't use CAPsMAN as I have experiences issues in the past with broadcasting, and it makes my network more complicated (I have a lot of different networking hardware between the router and the APs and CAPsMAN makes it seem like the APs are plugged directly on the router.).
Finally, my APs have two SSIDs: a guest and a main, on two different VLANs.
My problems are the following:
- A lot of devices connect to the 2ghz network, even though there is the 5ghz network with the same SSID next to it.
- Even though I am next to an AP, my computer tends to stay connected to an AP very far away.
- Apple users are experiencing connectivity issues (cannot connect to wifi).
- It is takes some time connecting to the wifi
What I have tried so far:
- Reducing the TX-Power of the 2ghz antenna
- Enabling FT & FT Over DS
- Switching from 20Mhz to 20/40MHz Ce on the 5Ghz antenna
- Disabling WPA3-PSK (leaving only WPA2-PSK)
