Ubiquiti UniFi AP: Signal drop out issue.
-
Currently running:
3.2.12.2920

You can do a manual downgrade to 3.2.10 as I have the files handy from my recent support case.
This would leave your controller alone and simply let you downgrade the AP itself.

I think that is where this is going. I would rather try that as to have to exchange the unit.

Now, just to make sure your controller readopts it and then monitor for drop outs.

Other than using my Andriod as I have,.. is there a Windows tool that will do the same thing?
-
Cut together scan for about 5 minutes
-
Not going to add another screen shot,.. but showing 5 drop outs in one screen..
Something is not right with this unit.
-
It could be the software... I heard from a lot of folks in the Spiceworks forums that they started having issues with the 3.x series firmware, but the 2.4 ones were good.
-
I just submitted a support request to them. I linked back to this thread -
-
We Tweeted directly to them the other day too. No response from them though.

I have a response... but only for some of what I have already given... Screen shot of error? I don't have one really.. just poor signal quality. sigh

Your best solution will be another AP to prove issues.
Otherwise, the best you can expect is an RMA that takes 2 weeks. Assuming it is under warranty.

Maybe as such as this?
Pulled out a EnGenius AP I happen to have. The main signal on it didn't bounce around. I even walked around and went upstairs and sat just 3 feet away from the UniFi AP.
Dropping the EnGenius power to just 10% didn't seem to drop the signal level much.

No, you need to get a second UAP to prove a hardware problem or software problem.
If a second UAP does exactly the same thing, then you have a problem with the UniFi software (firmware most likely). If it does not have this problem, then the problem is the hardware. Request a RMA if under warranty and move on.

A lot of the time that can actually improve signal quality haha
-
Yes, as I mentioned in Skype, I think, pretty much every AP in the world should never be set to high power in a normal residence.
Those power levels will overwhelm the radio in the phone/device.
-
Fewer signals bouncing all over the place.

@JaredBusch Yup, most of the AP's you'll see come juiced up too far IMHO
If you're giving up on your unifi AP, maybe try throwing DD-WRT on it for giggles - might be surprised, who knows.
