Hi all,
I have a brand new RB951-2n which I went right ahead and installed at a clients site without testing. This is to terminate an internet connection delivered over ethernet and provide wired and wireless internet access to the client. (ISP managed CPE)
Unfortunately I didn’t test it out in the shop. Assuming that if I set the wifi interfaces up the same way as all the other variations of 951 that I have it should just work. But it didn’t. No client devices would associate with it.
So back in the office I’ve done some comparisons. RB951G-2HnD on the bench, set up with 2 Virtual APs.
2 Security profiles, WPA2PSK and AES the only options. Working perfectly fine.
RB951-2n on the bench next to it. Exactly the same configuration (even same SSID/WPA2PSK secret/wireless channels) Clients can’t connect. (I only have one unit powered on at a time, so no RF interference)
Interestingly If I run without any security it works just fine.
It also does not work with the default configuration as it ships.
Has anyone had any experience with these units having dodgy WiFi?
Clients [HTC Sensation, iPhone 5, Intel centrino Advanced-N 6500, macbook pro all fail to associate. Gave up trying more.]
