Some clients connecting to really far AP

[miguel_v]

Hello All i currently have 3 AP at my house, home is about 4500 sqft, i have a R710 upstairs, and a R710 (master) downstairs, I Also have an R510 on a garage. For some reason few of my wireless devices are connecting to the R510 when the R710 is next to them... For example i have there is an Ecobee thermostat like 5 ft away from that AP, and is connecting to an AP that is like 100ft away. It even shows the connection as poor... Note: the upstairs AP does have some devices and they are running fine (so i have to reason to believe there is a problem with it as in hardware issue)

The R510 used to be upstairs (not sure if there is some kind of cache or client memory) but i recently changed it for the R710....

Here are some of my settings:

- Self Healing is on

- Background scanning is on

- Client load balancing is off

- Band Balancing is off

- Radar Avoidance pre-scanning is on

- Mesh is disabled all the APs are wired

- All the APs 2.4/5.0 Settings are set to default (all override are not checked)

Another question i have is, i have another R510 that im not currently using, does it make sense to use it as a master only and disable its WLAN services/capabilities?
