WAP 371 deauthenticate client

[DavideZanichelli31808]

Good evening, I have two wap 371 in single point setup, and in the log file I have many of this message:

 Log Message from AP 192.168.0.245

first reaction is : expected behavior

the client is associated/authenticated by AP1 end for some reason communicates with AP2 where it is not authenticated (yet).

this only disappears on an integrated infrastructure where the AP's work together

either with a dedicated controller or with a common ME infrastructure where one of the AP's takes the controller function.

Good morning, my access point work togheter in single point setup mode. I look that one of two access point is cluster controller. Why they don't work fine? Thanks

found multiple posts like this one

it suggests it is an incompatibility between client and AP

connectivity can be improved by disabling MFP or PMF (depending on software version)
