Would you be able to file a case for this question?</P> Thu, 12 Sep 2019 02:04:15 GMT https://community.extremenetworks.com/t5/aerohive-migrated-content/ap121-and-ap330-mesh-distance-greatly-reduced-if-configure-using/m-p/85234#M10621 samantha_lynn 2019-09-12T02:04:15Z https://community.extremenetworks.com/t5/aerohive-migrated-content/ap121-and-ap330-mesh-distance-greatly-reduced-if-configure-using/m-p/85235#M10622 <P>Let me do some more tests and see if I can narrow down the issue. Will report back.</P> Fri, 13 Sep 2019 10:58:41 GMT https://community.extremenetworks.com/t5/aerohive-migrated-content/ap121-and-ap330-mesh-distance-greatly-reduced-if-configure-using/m-p/85235#M10622 xelaus 2019-09-13T10:58:41Z
