Re: MSM 760 best configuration for Apple devices

Thank you for your reply.

About the end of life of MSMs, our school bought and installed a brand new system from HP (MSM 760 and APs) just over 4 years ago. We pay the warranty extension annually. It is still too early to change everything in our school and I believe that HP must provide a good support for a few more years.

I will try some proposed changes such as multicast. Reducing the number of clients per radio to 25 could be tried but, in our case, this is sometimes too little. The HP seller had announced up to 255 connections, what a difference with real life. Currently, I set this parameter to 75 with AP load balancing enabled and globally, I find that the system works well. What did you mean by putting the ssid to 4, do you mean limiting the number of ssid broadcast? We are currently broadcasting 6 ssid in our school and it would be difficult for us to change this setting.

I noticed that iphones or ipads could suddenly have trouble connecting, perhaps because of roaming between antennas when moving in buildings or when the apple devices come out of waking up (this is just a hypothesis ). The windows, chromebook, android devices are much better, if not perfect. Regarding roaming, I recently got a change in behavior by setting the parameter distance between ap to small, forcing devices to connect to the nearest antenna, I still have to continue my observations.

Thanks for the other ideas or suggestions, maybe for the apple client side.
