Hello,

From time to time, clients experience problems connecting to a wireless network. Two identical twin laptops can be a meter away from the access point and on one there will be everything OK and on the other there are communication problems.

Laptops equipped with Intel AC 9560.

A metre away from the AP ... a 3702E.
What antenna is the 3702E using?

Hello @Leo Laohoo  I mentioned 3702I, it has an integrated antenna. 

Only these two wireless clients having problems?
What about other wireless clients? They having same problems?

At one point, a problem can be observed with 1-2 clients, but then go through and not appear at all anywhere. Replacing a wifi adapter may help. Also moving laptop btw AP also may help. 

Can AAA settings affect?

And what firmware are the Intel 9560 running on?

@Leo Laohoo  Intel 21.20.1.1 from 5/30/2019

Try the latest driver, 21.50.X.

@Leo Laohoo 
didn't help

what ERRORS at event log can mean ?

Do a "debug client <MAC ADDRESS>" and log it.
What happens, with the debug enabled, and this issue occurs?

Hello @Leo Laohoo 

 

debug info attached

I've had a look and I don't see any issues with this debug.
The debug starts at "12:59:48.549" and by "12:59:48.583" the client got an IP address of "10.84.150.205".

Please expand, with more details, what issue(s) are observe when this happens?  

Do the wireless clients get a yellow "!"?  Did the wireless clients loose wireless network?  Did the wireless clients lost access to a certain DB?

Hello @Leo Laohoo 

 

Client experience high level packet drops. It can begin as unexpectedly as it ends.

without any kind of OS changes, on the hotspot from the phone at the same time, there are no problems.

Can you replicate the issue (ping drops) with, say, a smart phone?

Hello @Leo Laohoo 

No,
