the ANT27 is 12dB gain on the 5Gig which is just less than the 13dB on the antenna you have.  You can select that one and safely be within FCC regs.  You may disable the 2.4 radio since you won't have a 2.4 antenna. ... View more

you can use the AP to capture traffic on it's wired port to see if there are DHCP requests going out and responses to it's DHCP request.   i tis under network wide /monitor / packet capture     ... View more

for my $.02,  there are settings to prevent devices from roaming as long as there is a tiny bit of signal.  older cisco wireless phones for example can be set to a power saving mode that restricts it's radio from even looking at other APs to see if there is better signal until it nearly looses the one it has.  Could be your scanners were designed that way to extend battery life. ...

When I configure APs, I make sure the switch port the AP is connected to is configured for access mode, on a VLAN that has DHCP, and has access to the internet.  I usually use a vlan configured for user desktop PCs.   ... View more

No DFS events in the logs.   I was able to catch it in the act. The speakers went dead and looking at the log, the channel changed to get better reception less than 30 seconds before. The log shows the speakers dissociate while every other device doesnt even bat an eye. Some report dissociation and then less than 2 seconds later reassociate. I bought this: https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/wifi-router/tl-wr902ac/ And set it up in client mode as a simple wireless bridge. The speakers have an RJ45 on them for hardwired connections. I factory reset the speakers and told them not to connect to my wireless network. They connected via this TP Link device smooth as butter and have been happily listening to music for days with not a single drop out with a few channel changes. To me, this pretty conclusively points the finger at the speaker's wireless implementation. That they hit an unrecoverable crashed state (they must be power cycled to come back online) is an indicator that the driver or whatever governs their operation is not familiar with the circumstance where a channel changes. Computers need to know what to expect or they dont work right. That all sound about right to you guys?  ... View more

turning off meshing looks like a system wide option.  if you only wanted the units to not mesh while working on them, you could change the RF channels to ones that are not in use by the local AP ... View more

We have also used GRP and plastic boxes for indoor APs to be used outdoors and not seen any problems with signal strength.  tested with the door open and closed without a difference in signal strength.    if your curtain is large and heavy,  there may be a metal mesh inside the layers for strength that you may have to consider.  if it is there, depending on the mesh size, it may or may not have an effect.  You know, just to muddy the waters ...

Thanks for the thoughts.  looking like the industrial hubs behind the AP is the primary problem.  at one of the locations, i can connect the power meters directly to the AP ethernet port and they work fine.  When the meters are behind the switch, they lose connectivity.  Part of the problem could be the meters don't initiate any communications.  The metering "system" polls the meters.  ...

If you used a MR76 at the office with a 5G sector antenna pointing to each amenity block and the 2.4 radio disabled   another 74 or 76 at the office with the 5G radio disabled and ANT20s on the 2.4 G antenna ports   a MR74 with a 5G sector antenna at each amenity block pointing back to the office and 2 omni ANT20s on the 2 remaining antenna ports for client service.   you could use the 5G for backhaul and 2.4 for client service ...
