MSM710 - Apple Macbooks and Iphones disconnecting after a few minutes

[Stephen Anning]

Hi folks

We currently have a MSM710 access controller and a couple of MSM422 access points.

Wondering if anyone has seen any issues with Macbooks (running osx 10.6.2) or Iphones (running latest firmware version) disconnecting from the wireless after a few minutes.

Windows clients are fine, only seems to occur with Mac's and Iphones.

P.S. This thread has been moved from Communications, Wireless (Legacy ITRC forum) to MSM Series. -HP Forum Moderator

Hi

When we opened it up, it seemed to work fine.
So it appears to be an issue with HTML username/password authorization and Macbooks/Iphones.

Not sure what to do next though as we would like to keep the html authorization enabled.

I had problems with this too. It seems to work better when you disable HTTP authentication and force HTTPS authentications.

Also if you have session/welcome pages try disabling them to see if they help.

Hopefully the next batch of firmware updates from HP will fix these issues.

Let me know if that helps!

do you use internel radius server (on MSM710 radius server)

do you create local user on MSM 710

Has anyone had success with getting this problem fully resolved? I am experiencing the same problem when operating the MSM422 is autonomous mode with WPA2/Preshared Key security. It seems particularly bad when using radio1 in pure N mode (in either the 2.4 or 5ghz bands).
