Everything Instant On

Hi all,

After al my problems another disapointing day with my Aruba WiFi at home. 2 out of 4 AP11 are connected at 100Mbps (never had 100Mbps connections at home). Restart nothing, portswap and powercycle -> AP 1Gbps (The 'falty' Gb port functions OK with my other device), My Sonos is gone now, restart Sonos not comning back, Other AP11 shutdown -> Sonos reapears. Oke solved again.

I am getting sick of it. Never had any problems with my apple wifi but after replacing them whith the Aruba AP11's (same port, same places) the **bleep** started:

• Airplay not working
• Adding accessories to Homekit not working
• All kinds of strange things happening in my netork (Updated my wholen network including Cisco GS300 but that didnt change things
• WiFi connections fluctuating (Sometime i get better connection when I am 50m away out of my home than inside), I live in the countryside so the air is free
• Bad roaming (iPhone X and 11)
• Now this

I had hoped to get a userfriendly semiprofessional from the guys (Aruba) that now how to make a WiFi network work. I think now I got a Chinese product of Trust (They probably do a better job right now). I hope Arube puts some extra effort in making it better (Bit sceptic as FW updates are not verry frequent and info on what they fixed is scarce).

Hi @RudiK - These issues are certainly not expected. Please reach out to the Support team to open a support case. We would like to get to the root cause for the issues you are observing in your network and help stablize your network. Appreciate your patience as we work through the details of the issues.

I have to agree.  I am aware (from other office locations) that to make Sonos work you have to turn off broadcast filtering.

(Finding that little nugget the first time took forever).  In our newest office we purchased AP11's and if there is a way to turn off broadcast filtering, I can't find it.

Maybe this is a quality product, but foreign languge support plus the tendency to push users to "The Community" instead of supporting your own product is very uncool.  (Imagine going to the Happy Tavern for dinner and asking the waiter what's in a particular dish.  He says "I really care about your dining experience, so I'm not going to tell you.  Check with the community of Happy Tavern diners and ask them.  That's bullsh*t and not something good companies do to their users.)
