Seamless roaming

mcury

@Qinn You can try a cat /var/log/messages inside the AP, just ssh to it.

Qinn

@mcury Good thinking, so did it and downloaded 4 files from

/var/log 

fastapply
lastlog
messages
messages.old

First 2 were empty in the last 2 the failure was not mentioned.

mcury

@Qinn You would be getting something like this:

nanohd-BZ.v5.24.0# cat /var/log/messages | grep failure

@mcury said in Seamless roaming:

cat /var/log/messages | grep failure

GRumpff , did a

cat /var/log/messages | grep Failure

instead of

 cat /var/log/messages | grep failure

Found it, thanks!!

Reverted the nanohd firmware back to the stable version, 4.3.20, and the 300Mbps limitation is no longer happening..
Just saying this for information purposes, not that the users will really notice that, but I'm getting now around 600.

Qinn

@mcury Thanks for the info

On a 866.7 PHY?

mcury

@johnpoz Yeap.
5GHz 80MHz, phone shows 866Mbps

Looks more like 516 mbps to me ;) Which is actually realistic.. At 60% of PHY.. not 70..

5]   0.00-10.03  sec   618 MBytes   516 Mbits/sec

Just tested off my phone to speedtest getting 437mbps down on 5.24 firmware on AC-Pro with iphone Xr.. Showing a 780 PHY.. Or 56% which is good..

mcury

@johnpoz True.. 516Mbits/s :)
I'll stay on this 4.20 firmware for a while, it's working pretty well.
In my scenario, with just one AP, the roaming events are working, no need to update to 5.24 at this time.

johnpoz

Yeah I didn't really see anything in the firmware related to my devices - but I just like to be on whatever is the latest.. Helps me know if actually seeing what others say they see on the threads over on unifi when they post the latest updates..

mcury

Yeah, the release notes for this 5.24 release got a lot for the new wifi 6 devices..
I usually get the latest too.
What I will try to do next time, in case that I can hold myself to not update Is to wait a little longer, to read the forum feedback. But I doubt that I'll be able to hold myself

Qinn

There is no cpu/board temperature measurement on the Unifi AP's?

Derelict

Maybe ask Ubiquiti?

Qinn

@Derelict Your absolutely right, as this is a Netgate forum, so I posted it

https://community.ui.com/questions/No-temperature-monitoring-on-UAP/a48836fd-9410-4203-becb-fc3734658f22

johnpoz

Kind of hard to show temp without temp sensors. I do not believe there are any sensors in the AP, this question has come up before over on their forums. Which is actually kind of funny, since they actually sell a temp sensor ;)

Qinn

As there datasheet says mentions it operates between -10 t 70 degrees Celsius or 14 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit, then even operating in death valley would be no problem ;)

johnpoz

Not sure what that has to do with measurement of the actual cpu/board temperature?

Qinn

The UAP has only passive cooling and it's mounted in many cases against the ceiling, so probably the warmest/hottest part of the room. So it can only loose heat when there is a temperature difference between board/cpu and the room it's in, so that's why I guess is mentioned.

johnpoz

Huh?? Was some stuff removed from this thread??

29 days later out of the blue asking about cpu/board temps on APs? Then from there jumping to they can operate in death valley?? WTF???
