AP100C Intermittent

RichardHughes1

Hello,

I have had several problems now with this AP and I can only assume that it has a hardware fault. I'm having problems now with where connections will time-out randomly on devices that are connected to this AP. Running a simple local ping from local to local, the ping will jump from 1 ms to 300+ ms and then back to 1 ms? When this happens, the AP seems to be in a stuck state and has to be power-cycled.

I checked the log on my UTM and I can't really see anything that jumps out as to what is happening here. One entry that I can see a lot of (during the times this happens) are these three lines: 

netifd: radio1 (7076): command failed: No such device (-19)
kernel: [ 1130.960000] br-lan1001: port 3(wlan3) entered disabled state
kernel: [ 1130.960000] br-vxlan104: port 3(wlan11) entered disabled state


I am not sure exactly what this means, but I can only assume that it probably isn't good? Is it time to replace this AP?

Cheers,
Richard

    Decided to give up with this AP (the AP100C). No problems when using the Cisco hardware as an AP or when using the old AP30, so I'm sure that rules everything out and takes us back to the AP100C being the problem. I also noticed when trying to re-set the AP100C whilst detached from the ceiling, that moving the RJ45 jack in the network socket sometimes causes the AP to lose power (PoE)... tried several network cables and all do the same thing. I can only assume that there is something wrong with the network port on the AP100C.

    I've decided to buy a new AP of a different brand. I paid a lot of money for the AP100C and as a home user, I don't think it was value for money as it was pretty expensive with quite a poor spec for the money. I looked at the new Sophos APs and found that the APX 740 goes for around £300... when I found a competitive AP of a well-known brand that has a much better specification and only came to £175!

    Are you able to check your signals?  You might be getting some interference on some channels.  I'd download an app and check the signals in the area where your AP is, and then go from there first.  If you don't find anything, then I would try hard resetting the AP.  I would also try changing the cable/port it is plugged into so you can eliminate the quick and easy things as well.
