Mesh between AP130 and AP150w

[Alexander4]

I want to use a AP150w without LAN connection as mesh and the ethernet ports for connecting wired clients.

I have set up a wireless network which runs ok. Then i configure the AP150 on wifi0 as backhaul mesh and choose the same channel as on the wired AP130. But after a restart, the AP150w will not mesh connect to the AP130. And, i see no Neighboring Devices on the AP150w, while using a wired connection. Strange.

May anybody share some light with me. I am totally lost.

Thanks for help.

Sorry Sam,

i did not understand your answer, so i have to write mine new. OK, first you say, the RSSI of the SSID i want to connect to is too loud. OK, but, may you please check the SSID "Gescht" from my AP130 and AP230, which are also on 2,4 Ghz.

OK, then i will move my AP150w (Mesh) closer to my AP130/AP230, just in case...

I will come backup to you..

Many thanks for help...

Thanks for that data. I checked your background scans, and we're getting a few in but not many. I wouldn't be surprised if you have long gaps between when one goes through, which might explain a lapse in data. To show you what I'm seeing:

show interface wifi0:

Show interface wifi1:

Since we did get a few background scans in, I checked your neighbors and it was populating with a few (show acsp neighbor). There is one I think will cause some issues for your Mesh connection:

We want that RSSI value between -75 and -100. Anything in the -50's to 0 is too loud, and will be especially problematic for Mesh connections.

I also noticed a 36% CRC failure rate on wifi0, that doesn't bode well for Mesh either, that tells us that 36% of your wireless traffic on this radio is too damaged to read and had to be resent at least one time. I would recommend sticking to wifi1 for your Mesh traffic if you aren't already.

Sorry, i got it. macOS safari problem within Version 12.0.3... 😞

So, here is the data.

Many thanks for help.

If you are using HiveManager Connect, you won't have access to the Tools tab without upgrading to a paid version of HiveManager. As an alternative, could you try obtaining tech data via the CLI of the AP (https://thehivecommunity.aerohive.com/s/article/Collecting-Tech-Data-via-CLI)?

Hello Sam,

thanks for helping me.

I'm in HM (NG), but when i select "Tools" from the "Menubar", i can not select "Utilities", it simply does not open! Sorry, but i don`t get it...
