Hello Alan,

I've attached the meshconnex setup instructions. If testing in lab/office make sure you follow these guidelines:

1 - The APs both be running on the latest recommended firmware. In your case this would be 5.9.2.6
2 - Make sure that the APs are a few feet apart
3 - Reduce the radio power to 1. Once tests done and connection established, reconfigure the power to whatever you need it to be prior to deployment

I hope this helps,

Thank you,

Chris

Hello Chris,

Thanks for your information. In this case, I can set AP8432 do controller and mesh connection with AP7632 or not?

Regards,
Alan

Hello Alan,

It all depends on your deployment, if you are setting up these 2 APs to only bridge 2 sites wirelessly then you don't really need a virtual controller; however, if you have multiple APs you'd like the AP8432 to adopt, then you can turn it into a virtual controller. Make sure you configure the AnyAP profile for heterogeneous AP adoption.

In other words, a VC is not a must for meshconnex to work, but you can configure this setting should you like all APs adopted by VC.

Thank you,

Hello Alan,

Recommended changes:

Change control vlan in meshpoint on both so something like vlan 99
Change antenna mode from 1x1 to 2x2 again on both as an override

Critical change:

Add country code to your rf-domain or else the radios will not broadcast:

rf-domain default
no country-code
use nsight-policy default

If issue is not resolved at this point I would recommend you contact GTAC to open a case.

Thank you,

Chris
