https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/To-Be-Moved/ChannelFly-seems-less-hoppy-in-9-12/m-p/37154#M2006 I'd like to share an observation that I've made over the weekend, wondering if this was intentional or not.<BR /><BR />I love the concept of ChannelFly, but previously found it really hard to control the number of channel changes. Namely, even with a relatively high MTBC setting (300-600min) and days of uptime, I would still find multiple rapid back-and-forth transitions (e.g. 3 -&gt; 6, 6-&gt;3 within a minute of each other), and quite honestly the MTBC setting didn't seem to do anything.<BR /><BR />But this appears to have changed in ZF 9.12. With 9.12, Channelfly is still understandably aggressive at channel-hopping within the first hour or two of uptime, but then it starts noticeably slowing down. Now, with 3 days of uptime and counting, my outdoor AP switches channels every 6 to 10 hours, and my indoor AP's are doing a good job of staying put, especially in 5GHz where there's relatively few neighbors. I have my MTBC set at 300 minutes and it does seem like it's an average of 5+ hours per switch.<BR /><BR /><BR />I noticed too that the AP syslogs now print the channelfly set MTBC and actual MTBC on each channel switch.<BR /><BR /><BR />Is this an intentional enhancement to ChannelFly, or am I possibly imagining this behavior?&nbsp; Mon, 10 Aug 2015 18:17:12 GMT john_d 2015-08-10T18:17:12Z https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/To-Be-Moved/ChannelFly-seems-less-hoppy-in-9-12/m-p/37154#M2006 I'd like to share an observation that I've made over the weekend, wondering if this was intentional or not.<BR /><BR />I love the concept of ChannelFly, but previously found it really hard to control the number of channel changes.
