Hi, I have the following setup:
EAP245 (POE ethernet)
EAP225 Outdoor (POE ethernet)
Mac Mini Headless Server (ethernet), running Plex and Docker + Omada Software Controller
LG Smart TV (running plex app (via wifi)
Generic unmanaged DLink Switch
Sonos Beam Soundbar (ethernet)
Sonos various other speakers (wifi)
Various Mac Laptops (wifi)
Various iphones (wifi)
Both EAPs are setup via the software controller with the same SSID running on 5GHZ, wtih fast roaming enabled. Once I have this up and going the following dont work:
All Sonos speakers system shows up as no hardware connected in app
Plex app on smart TV doesnt work - connects but cant access any media on the mac mini. (as a note I can get Plex app to work via an ethernet connected PS4)
Handoff between iphone devices and laptops wont work - eg can't receive or make calls (via phone) on laptop, can't copy something on the laptop and paste it on the phone, use the phone as a remote camera for the laptop, etc.
Laptop can wirelessly connect to the mac mini for drive access, however it can't remote control (share screen)
As soon as I connect to another hidden network (not Omada gear) I have, everything listed above works as it should.
I've now diconnected "forgotten" the EAPs from the software controller and reset everything so the 2 EAPs have the same SSID name and password but are running independently (ie the software controller is no longer used) and suddenly everything works again as it should.
Ideally I would like the controller to be doing the management so I can use fast roaming, however everything working properly is the priority. Is this a know issue? Would the same thing be happening if I was to use the OC200 Hardware controller?
Thanks

I think if you Disable VLAN here (red arrow below, you should be ok). You may want to power cycle the APs after making this change.
Note the warning about meshing without using different VLANs though!
I worry the message above may imply you need to move your management VLAN for each AP in their config menu, if you don't tag the SSID traffic. This would all get sorted for you with an Omada router or switch in your setup by the controller.
