Apple OSX devices getting no internet while connected to Ruckus APs

[anthony_7436256]

We have an environment with 36 R510 APs spread among 12 floors with 2 ZD1200's on the back end. We notice on a daily basis that random set of Wifi users cannot browse the internet or get disconnected in the middle of a video call even though they have full bars for Wifi.  This is an issue because the building is 100% wireless. We have turned off DFS channels, and tweaked power levels accordingly to minimize overlap. It seems that only Apple users are effected. Are there any known issues with Ruckus and Apple devices?

Thanks for sharing your experience David! I wonder whether any of your users have Catalina OS and what is their experience? We use as well 802.1X EAP, WPA2, AES and Cloudpath Radius onboard database for authentication, vSZ and R510 APs. I have High Sierra and do not experience disconnections on site, although specifically users with Catalina 10.15.2 OS and previously 10.15.1 experience disconnections twice a day as a rule. This is the difference. Catalina is a key point here:)

This is good information David and Kevin, let me see how i can use it for our environment. Thanks

Hi, I'm also experiencing this problem.

The WiFi works flawless for every device except Apple OSX devices (diagnostics performed on Catalina OS 10.15.3). We are experiencing poor roaming and random disconnects with no automatically reconnect on MacBook OSX devices.

We run R500/R510 APs on vSZ 3.6.2.0.222

It feels like I have tried every config there is and with no results whatsoever.

We are having similar problems with a fleet of R700s, R710s, R720s connected back to redundant ZD3000s.

What we have discovered is that standard PSK networks operate fine with Catalina.  We use DPSKs on our main client network and have the exact issues described here.  Multiple disconnects throughout the day.  

Computers with a fresh install of Catalina seem to have less issues, though some still do have issues.  Computers upgraded to Catalina from Mojave or earlier seem to be our biggest issues.

I have an open support case with an engineer that seems interested in the issue, he has been looking into it for 2 months now.

Hi Erik,

And you're also using CloudPath or not?  Only Apple's latest 'Catalina' version?  Do you have MacBooks, iPhones, iPads and see the same?
