Okay, I don’t know what’s happening here but this isn’t looking pretty. All of our AP650’s are losing connectivity multiple times throughout the day.
Look at this! Some AP’s will only do this once or twice and others are doing it often, like this 🔼 There’s nothing indicating any type of error or issue. We didn’t have this problem on firmware 10.09rb.
I have a case open with GTAC, but are we the only ones seeing this issue?
All 145 AP’s are showing data like this. I’m waiting to see what GTAC says today, but I may be rolling back to 10.09rb tonight.
I’m seeing the same thing on all our devices; I went to 10.2r4 on our entire fleet after having it at 2 locations without any reported issues.
This is a 630, but I am seeing this on any randomly selected 650s and 630s alike. I haven’t heard any issues with anyone’s connectivity the way I did with 10.0r10 though… Is this an actual issue with connectivity or is there something wrong with reporting?
You most certainly are having the same issue. 
In the moments when this happens: reporting goes down and disconnects all of the clients. Sometimes they are able to reconnect immediately and sometimes it can take a couple minutes. For us, this disconnects teachers and students from their video conferencing sessions. I’m rolling back all of our AP’s to 10.0r9b right now.
I think I experience the same issue with my test AP 410C with 10.2r4
Dropped out about 3 times in 2 hours without moving the MacBookPro or reaching MacOS roam threshold of -75...

Okay, I’m glad I’m not alone. We have Apple, Windows, and Chromebook devices; they were all dropping every couple of hours. I reverted all of the AP’s back to 10.09rb last night. I’ll report back with any new info.
Really looking forward to get an API where i can automate the deployment of firmware and central monitoring. There is a few solutions out there which offer better help in situations like these. The amount of unpaid break fix hours has been way too high with Extreme in the past 12 months. Lets hope it gets better soon ;)
Do any EN techs look at this forum?

I seriously only think it’s only Sam Pirok helping everyone on the forums. I never see any other engineers/support staff replying or helping her.
I’m calling in Gandolf
Hey guys, we do have a bunch of our engineers on here helping out, I’m just the most obsessed =) I also have to go bug other engineers for a lot of my answers, so there’s a lot of team contributions behind the scenes.
I have been following this thread, and I’m looking in to what we can do for you all. I didn’t want to jump in before I had something useful to contribute here but I’m definitely working on getting some help for you all!
I really appreciate you guys bring attention to these kinds of issues, please don’t hesitate to keep letting us know about these pain points.
Thank you 
You’re the best, hence why you’re our only beacon of hope. There are too many issues, Sam. CloudIQ monitoring going nuts/dropping reporting, GTAC not responding quickly, firmware updates that keep causing too many issues. We just want stable reliable WiFi, and I know that you know this. When educators lose their connection daily multiple times a day, K-12, because of buggy AP firmware along with CloudIQ having its own issues; it’s not acceptable.
Like what
We’re all worn out by this cycle of things not working as advertised. Okay, lunchtime. ✌
I rolled back one of our 630s from 10.2r4 to 10.0r9b and it seems the reporting shows the same type of connectivity as before. (8 hour time range; it’s been on 10.0r9b since last reconnect ~12 hours previously)
Is there some way I can actively monitor the connected clients so I can see exactly what’s happening at each of those points when connectivity/memory/cpu all show 0? Is there an active log monitor via cli I can keep up possibly?
I’d recommend auth debugs for cli monitoring, that should show any disconnection messages to help narrow down what exactly is causing the loss of signal. This guide reviews how to enable auth debugs: https://extremeportal.force.com/ExtrArticleDetail?an=000065975&q=Auth%20debug
If you can record a couple MAC addresses of clients having issues during the down times, that will help us sort through the auth debug logs.
You can also try setting up a client monitor in the XIQ GUI to see if that gives us any insights. This guide reviews how to set up a client monitor (apologies for the outdated screenshots, I’ll update that guide soon): https://extremeportal.force.com/ExtrArticleDetail?an=000056843&q=Client%20monitor
Thanks Kevin, sorry to hear it’s been a rough morning 
It would be good to attach all that to your case so our engineers can all see it, but please also let me know when that’s available and I’ll take a look too to see if anything jumps out at me. Good luck, and please let me know if I can help with anything. I’m pretty open today if you need help and want to jump on a call.
Unfortunately, the rollback to 10.09rb didn’t correct the lag and random disconnections. After I rolled out 10.2r4 on 1/10/2021, things were quiet overall until maybe the 15th. Then more issues crept up with random disconnects last week. This week it’s worse and reintroducing 10.0r9b just added an extra layer of divine icing on top. I’m just trying to provide a timeline based on incidents and teacher feedback.
It’s so bad we’re having to hardwire teachers laptops 
I only rolled back one device so far: GW-MDF-2
This was at about 10am CST yesterday, 1/27.
Thanks very much for the extra details guys! I hear the engineering team has found some “interesting things”, still waiting on details on that but progress is being made!
Of note, these graphs change drastically depending on which “Time Range” is selected. I’m seeing this across all of my models and firmware versions.
I’ve not been able to correlate issue with these dips, but we are having many reports of disconnects across multiple sites, models, firmware all with the symptom of - Connected “no internet” - Most of which started toward the beginning of Jan.
I’ve been delaying working with support until I had more info on my end as I wanted to ensure we weren’t having some other internal issue. Also it’s extremely difficult to catch such an intermittent issue in the act.
Looking just now I’ve confirmed this type of graph behavior (I pulled up all my stragglers that aren’t on latest FW to give a broader picture)
AP550 - 8.0.1.0, 10.0.8.1, 10.0.9.2
AP250 - 10.0.9.2
AP230 - 6.5.11.0, 10.0.8.1, 10.0.9.2
AP330 - 6.5.12.0
AP121 - 6.5.12.0
