Hello @praveen_jayawardhana 

 It must be some unknown reason because on my PC the devices was spread between those 2  Access Point just fine.

  I might say that even in a real wireless network, clients often gets connected in Access Point far away ignoring Access Points  near by.

In real world the decision made by the device algorithm should be based on the signal strenght but for some unknown reason they prefer an Access Point far away probably due signal oscilation.

 If you have any other issue or doubt, you may go ahead and ask. But the behavior you saw in your simulator may not have an explanation. You can eventually close the software and open it again.

Hi

 We need to consider that this is a simulator and not everything works as it should. But, if you share you project here, I can take a look.

You need to zip you file first.

Hi Community,

First of all I want to thank for answering my question and I have attached
my packet tracer file here. I know this is a simulator, but I love it, it's
amazing, so I'm asking about that WLC and LWA.

Thanks

Hi @Flavio Miranda 

For whatever reason, it's still the same. But I agree with the information you mentioned because I have enough experience in the practical environment. 

thanks @Flavio Miranda   appreciate !
