Hi all,
I'm seeing what appears to be unexpected roaming behavior on iPhone 11 devices, between two MR36's installed in a residential site.
When iPhone 11 devices connect to a different AP, the event log shows the following. In this case the iPhone moves from downstairs to upstairs:
Whereas I was expecting the following roaming behavior, like this Android device roaming from upstairs to downstairs:
iPhone 11's do not hit the PMKSA cache, where all other devices on this network (including the Android client above) do. At first I suspected 802.11ax to be the bottleneck, but disabling it does not change anything.
Do I see correctly that iPhone 11 clients in this case are not roaming as intended? If so, what would you recommended to try to fix this?
Thanks a lot for your insights!
