CAPsMAN - iPhone 6 / SE will not connect

Fri Nov 10, 2017 5:44 am

Guys,

Testing CAPsMAN for a customer and we've found that the following devices will not connect to a CAPsMAN managed WAP however when the settings are replicated directly to the WAP the devices connect fine:

NG4F2ZP/A - iPhone 6 11.0.3
MG4H2X/A - iPhone 6 11.1.1
MLM72X/A - iPhone SE 11.0.3

We also found the following Android device fails to connect also.

OnePlus 3T. Android 7.1.1

Config:
/caps-man channel

disable the 2 and 3 stream HT basic rates (mcs8-23).

My advice for capsman, do not set too much,
Don't set band, and channel / channel width

We are getting the best results with that
Remove al settings you didn't need!

Hi Uldis - Any reason for this? The iPhone 6's now connect but obviously if we need rates higher for some devices how to we overcome this?

You don't have to set these to make them work. Actually the opposite. By setting them, your REQUIRE all clients to support all these to connect. If client doesn't support one of them, they can't connect. Remove the setting to connect at any supported (including the higher ones)
