If you're experiencing connection issues with a specific device on your AP, follow these steps to diagnose and resolve the issue:

1. Identify the Device Model: Determine the specific model of the device experiencing the issue.
2. Check Connection Status:
   a. Verify if the device is connected to Wi-Fi.
   b. Check if the device has obtained an IP address. For example,iphone, this can be found under Settings/Wi-Fi.
3. Remove and Reconnect to the Network: After confirming the status, delete the SSID profile from your device. For Apple devices, follow these instructions: Apple Support Article. Then, try reconnecting to the SSID.
4. Test Proximity to the AP: If the problem persists, move the device closer to the AP to check if the issue is related to the AP's signal strength. If this resolves the issue, consider repositioning the AP for better coverage.
5. Document and Collect Data: If the issue remains unresolved, record the model and MAC address of the problematic device, along with the time when the issue occurred. Additionally, collect diagnostic information from the AP. Instructions for this can be found here: How to collect the AP diaginfo. Once you have gathered this information, report the issue through a support ticket or post it on the forum for further assistance.
