I am getting an error while connecting mobile devices to SSID. Setup is Cisco 5520 WLC with AP 1850 series.

Unable to join to the network. This network is operating on wifi channels in use by several other nearby networks. Restarting your wireless network may allow to automatically choose the best channel to use, and may resolve the problem.

- Is this related to a specific brand of mobile devices , or can it be seen with different models (too) ?

That is customized error message.

What happens if the SSID is configured with OPEN authentication?

This is for 2.4 or 5.0? Are you allowing all possble channel? Or are you manually restricting channels?

Either way, this feature does not make sense.wifi is about sharing channels. How many device does this feature will consider as accepted.

Were you able to resolve this issue? I am having the same issue now in our environment.

It's with encryption settings. We created a separate SSID with different encryption settings. Device got connected to that.
