Ruckus Unleashed Mesh Issues + max. Mesh-AP

Hello,

one of my Customers provides Ruckus APs for big parking areas.
It is always the same. There is a Building with an existing cabled Gigabit Network. Within the cabled Network is a Storage for Recordings. All over the parking area are IP Cameras mounted on Poles. Between the Building and the IP Cameras is no cabled Network. For that Cameras we are using Ruckus Unleashed Mesh.

Some Sites working fine.
There are others, where i get heartbeat losses reported to my Mesh-APs. The Connection is not very stable. We are on FW 200.3
Regarding the unstable Mesh Connection i opened a Case and it is in Progress.
If someone has an idea, just share it with me.

My other question is:
The Site with the unstable Mesh Connection has two Root-APs (T300 and T301s).
My Customer is thinking the Mesh Problems are because we are using two Root-APs.
I don't think so. The Network was also unstable if i disconnected one Root-AP from Power-Source. There was also a time, where both Root-APs were running and everything worked fine.

But for the next Parking Areas my Customer is planning/calculating only with one Root-AP and about 9 - 10 Mesh-APs.
There are two conerns for me. First one is that i whould prefere two Root-APs. Just not to have a single point of failure. The other conern is that i am not sure if 9 - 10 Mesh-APs connected with one Root-AP will generate just to much load on the Root-AP.

What do you thing about my conerns?

Thanks!

Kind Regards
Marco
