Recently, our users have been having issues in connecting to our Meru Wireless AP's on campus. These users were using the latest Intel Pro wireless cards on their laptops. The fix that Meru support suggested of disabling the power save mode on the cards does not work 100% of the time. Upgrading the latest firmware/drivers for the wireless cards do not work 100% all the time as well. Plus, certain Mac's are having same problems. With Mac's, we've noticed that an older firmware has no issues, where a laptop with the latest is experiencing the disconnect problems.
Basically a laptop can connect, it says it's connected with a good signal, but can't get online. If one can get online, the connection is lost in about a minute or so. There are two things that we've noticed when this had started. 1. The Meru software was upgraded to the latest version recently 2. The Meru switches are almost maxed on the # of AP's allowed per. We had a handful of Fujitsu & Levono laptops internally within IT that had connectivity problems prior to the software upgrade on the Meru controllers and an upgrade of the firmware/drivers resolved the problem. We have open tickets with various vendors (Dell, Levono, HP, etc) as well and aren't getting anywhere with them. Is anyone else experiencing similar problems with Meru wireless AP's and connectivity?
