Not sure where to post this, so I'll try it here.
I have a small network with a central router (providing DHCP) that is using CAPSMAN to manage two access points. Everything was powered until recently by PoE (centrally provided from the router) and was shut down during the night. All worked perfectly.
Just a few days ago I had to replace a switch and now one of the APs is no longer PoE powered, but stays powered 24/7 - the remaining network (router, switch, other AP etc) still shuts down for the night.
However, when the network (central router with CAPSMAN etc.) comes back online in the morning the always-on AP is no longer reachable and it does no longer provide Wlan. Only a reboot of the AP fixes that.
I would prefer to understand the issue and fix it elegantly (instead of just scheduling a regular reboot in the morning for the corresponding AP), so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
