I posted previously about bridging our Wifi to an outbuilding and I thought it was working fine, but some wireless clients cannot stay connected.
The basic setup is:
`WAN -> (A) Aruba IAP-205 -> (B) Aruba 501 Bridge <--> (C) Aruba IAP-205`
ISSUE:
- The WAP (C) in the outbuilding does not join the WLAN Virtual Controller for the main building.
ASSUMPTIONS:
- Wireless clients probably cannot stay connected because they're trying to connect to the main building APs, which are too far away for the weaker antennas.
- The Aruba 501 bridge is NOT a Wifi Extender/Repeater/WAP.
- I only need 1 Station Profile set up on the 501 Bridge because it provides an upstream connection; it's not setting up a WAP.
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS:
- Create a new SSID for the outbuilding and add this profile to all managed devices.
- Duplicate the main building's SSIDs and hope they don't conflict.
- Change hardware arrangement?
