Model: EAP610-Outdoor  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.3.1

I have a camera far away from my house. To connect it, I have this AP which connects via WiFi (mesh) to another AP. It's then connected to the PoE dongle from the box, which is in turn connected to the camera.

This has worked great for a long time, until I recently updated the firmware on my AP. I'm not sure which version exactly introduced the issue, but I experienced the issue on version 1.3.1

After downgrading to 1.2.5, it is working as expected again.

 

The symptoms goes like this:

* AP Connects via WiFi, and stays connected for a minute or so.

* Then the WiFi symbol disappears from the status column, and when checking Mesh config, it says that the AP is connected by wire.

* Then it misses a heartbeat, and then gets Isolated status.

 

After a bit, it connects again and the cycle starts over.

Hi  @inrego 

 

What's the model number of the uplink EAP? 

This is mostly because the channel is unstable.

Please change the 5G channel of the uplink EAP, and observe the performance.

 

Please try a few more channels.

  @Vincent-TP The uplink is an EAP610-Outdoor(EU) v1.0. I've also tried uplink to a EAP650-Outdoor(EU) v1.0

 

The connection is stable on firmware 1.2.6 for the far away AP. I'm running ML object recognition 24/7 on the camera feed I receive, and it's running without issues for over a year. I have trouble believing it's an issue with unstable channel. The problem only occur after I upgrade firmware.
