I have been experiencing difficulties with certain models of Chromebooks within our network. When I look at the event log I see the Chromebook hopping between two or three access points. I get an 802.11 association, an 802.11 WPA authentication, and a WPA deauthentication, and then this cycle continues on a different access point with the Chromebook never establishing a solid connection. This usually happens when the Chromebook is located in a room that has no access point, but is nested between two rooms that do have access points. I am wondering if anyone else is seeing this issue? My guess is that this is a hidden node issue where clients in the room with an access point are unable to 'hear' the client in the room without an access point. I do not see any options in the dashboard to adjust CTS/RTS settings which is the suggestion when troubleshooting hidden node issues. Does anyone know how the Meraki MR46 access points handles the hidden node problem?
