Hi,

 

I have enabled a SSID that uses the Radio ON - schedule with these settings - Every Day 6:30 to 7:30 and 10:00 to 18:00.

 

Full settings see image below:

 

Omada hardware controller is at version 5.4.7 - 2.4.3 Build 20220715 Rel.56194.

 

This works as expected - the SSID becomes unavailable after 18:00 and only shows up again at 6:30.

 

However, on the next day I can't connect to the SSID at all and the controller records events like these:

[Failed]MauriceSchoolLaptop failed to connected to EAP660HD03 with SSID "HGR_NETWORK_GUESTS" on channel 149 because the Association times out.(1 time in a minute)    Aug 28, 2022 11:47:32

On my MacBook Pro - the wifi.log shows the below when I try to connect to the SSID with WLAN schedule:

Sun Aug 28 11:50:18.719 Info: <airportd[55110]> ASSOC request received from pid 411 (WiFiAgent) for WiFi network HGR_NETWORK_GUESTS, security 128

In fact connection to that SSID is impossible until I go into the WLAN settings on the OC200 again and hit apply without making any changes.

 

My other SSIDs without WLAN schedule work fine and I don't have any issues connecting the next day.
 

I am using these advanced feature settings on the site to take advantage of the fast roaming - changing the DTIM did not seem to make a difference.

 

Considering that it all works during the day and only stops working on the next day makes me think its got probably nothing to do with these settings.

 

I guess, what would help is why the AP does not allow that association until I save the WLAN settings again the next day. Is there an option to activate some DEBUG settings on the EAP/OC200?

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Did you try flicking the time periods around, namely choosing the period its OFF rather than its ON..? 

 

I have mine set for RADIO OFF during X hours set on a few sites and this appears to work.. worth a try!

Thank you for taking the time to post the issue in TP-Link Community!

 

I haven't noticed such feedback before. Would the issue steadily reproduce in your network?

Are you willing to help our support engineers to look into the issue via email?

 

Please feel free to let me know if I can be of any further assistance here.
