Mark, We've found some devices (gaming consoles) in our dorms that freak out if they see multiple APs (BSSIDs) broadcasting the same ESSID and refuse to connect. Our solution is to give them a patch cable and tell them to wire in (if possible). Thanks, Brad

Laptops, phones no issue at all. The devices above will sometime connect first try but then upon additional testing on a reconnect just will not pull a DHPC address. We are an Aruba wireless shop AP 225 and 315 fails on both. Anyone else experience this issue?
