Working with small office client that has a wifi network consisting of 6 Aruba InstantOn AP22 access points. They chose these devices for ease of management and cost given their size. All well and good, but the handoffs for devices seem atrocious. Cell phones and laptops will stay connected to a weak AP and suffer service degradation rather than handing over.
They have a messaging display in the lobby that basically loses its connection a couple times a day, seemingly because it is in range of two APs and at some point either tries to hand off and fails or otherwise experiences an issue that basically locks the display OS.
Looking at the AP management interface, it is obviously dialed down for simple management. I'm going to dig into them some more tomorrow, but in the meantime I wanted to see if anyone has experience with these devices and could offer some tips for improvement. I would expect this system to function significantly better since it supports WiFi-6 and therefore 802.11k, r, & v.
