Hi there.
I'm having issues with my network. I have an AX3 as my main router, an AX2 running as an AP (reset with no default config and no capsman), and a couple of consumer wifi routers running in ap/bridge mode.
All SSIDs are different. Initially, when switching from one SSID to another, 90% of the time, I was unable to connect due to being unable to get an IP address. If I did manage to connect, 50% of the time I was "connected with no internet".
After resetting the AX2 with no default config, 90% of the time I am able to manually roam between the AX3 and the AX2 with no issue. But I am almost never able to jump over to the other 2 APs which are consumer grade. If I have not been connected to any of the WiFis for a while or an indeterminate (possibly random) amount of time has passed while on a specific SSID, I am able to jump over to another AP perhaps 70% of the time but then I will not be able to jump back till that amount of time has elapsed again.
Setting my devices to use a random MAC allows me to connect without issue to any of them and jump freely albeit there is the corresponding increase in leases for the same device albeit with different MAC addresses.
Looking at the logs when I roam, it says 'lease exists, extending' but my device seems to never get the IP (till that time has elapsed).
I'm thinking it has something to do with DHCP and/or ARP. What could be the issue?
