the laptop at this point was ~2m from the box, nothing in the way. The connection works initially, but then the hAP thinks the device has disconnected, while the macbook thinks it is still connected. However, it is not, and I can’t even ping the gateway.

set wifi1 channel=ch-2ghz configuration=common-conf disabled=no
set wifi2 channel=ch-5ghz configuration=common-conf disabled=no
it is handy, as you can later play with frequencies.
My config is based on profiles and works fine with MacBooks as well.
Performance is a different story
@pants Mine’s a Mac mini M1 but I have similar “disconnected, connection lost” in the logs.
On May 3, I had 516 of ‘disconnected, connection lost’ for my Mac mini. I didn’t note down which ROS it was at that time but it would have been either 7.9rc5 or 7.9.
May 4 to May 9, one each a day. Not sure what fixed it.
