Model: EAP610-Outdoor  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.3.1

I have a storage facility with 3 separate buildings and have an issue I'm trying to resolve. I have 3 buildings all with outdoor EAP610s connected via mesh. The EAP610 on building 1 is hard wired to the router via a switch. Building 2 and building 3 EAP610s drop their connection within 60 minutes of me meshing them. The log shows no issues with Building 1s EAP610, but 2 and 3 drop connection usually in under an hour. Though after meshing them to building 1, building 2 and 3 connections work great for a while, until it drops the connection. I've tried meshing both 2 and 3 directly to 1, and I've tried meshing 3 to 2 and 2 to 1, with the same results. Distance is minimal between buildings, maybe 100ft. I've tried lowering the power on them to medium with no change in results.  These are managed with an OC200 controller.  When they disconnect they just go into an "isolated" status.

 

 

Any feedback/diagnostics welcome.

Hi  @McDProp 

 

Explanation of Isolated: (For APs in the mesh network only) The AP once managed by the controller via a wireless connection now cannot reach the gateway.

 

If the mesh network is unstable, you may refer to the following steps:
    1) Move the Mesh EAP closer to the uplink EAP;
    2) Avoid obstacles and wireless interference between the uplink EAP and mesh EAP;
    3) Change the channel of the uplink EAP, please test on different channels;
    4) Choose different uplink EAP units.
    5) Make sure the firmware version of the EAP and the controller are up-to-date.
 

Wish you a happy life and smooth network usage!
