Make sure that the outputs match and the AP is booted on the right boot partition

Gateway detection

Make sure that the Root Bridge has an ARP against its gateway
Make sure that the non-Root bridge does not have an ARP entry for its gateway
- Look for this information on the Support information Maintenance::Support Info page, Save to Local Computer -> supportinfo.txt.

ARP detection

Make sure that the an ARP entry does not exist for the Root on the non-root and vice versa

On the AP support logs look for the following output:

Loop detection can be disabled - caution do this only if we are absolutely certain that there will not be a wired loop

rkscli: set meshcfg loop_detect disable OK
rkscli: get meshcfg

Keeping them in too close of a proximity

Make sure the root and non root are separated by at least 10 - 20 feet
It is difficult to align them just right if they are too close to each other due to the nature of the internal antenna -
