AP350 Link Drops

[ttuisawau]

I have 3xCISCO350series AP's acting as bridges connecting 3 buildings.I have 1 AP (B) in the middle with an Omni-directional antennae.A 2nd AP (A) provides the link to our network.The 3rd AP(C) connects to our network via AP(B).AP(A) and AP(C) have uni-directional antennaes. Every so often almost every hour AP(B) will lose connectivity to AP(A) thus cutting connectivity to our network for users connecting to AP(C). Before we connected AP(C) the link between AP(A) & AP(B) was working fine.

AP(A) & AP(C) are NON-ROOT and AP(B) is the ROOT BRIDGE.

I would appreciate any pointers, fine tuning or solutions to this problem.

A schematic diagram would give a better idea to help solve your problem. Is AP(A) acting as a repeater to AP(C) ??

No. AP(A) is not acting as a repeater to AP(C). They are all configured as bridges.

Schematic diagram:

| <------------> | <---------------> |

AP-A AP-B AP-C

directional omni directional

AP-A is the NON-ROOT bridge

AP-B is the ROOT bridge

AP-C is the NON-ROOT bridge

AP-A is linked via CAT5e to a switch on our internal network.

I can ping and manage via http AP-A

I can ping and manage via http AP-C

I cannot ping or manage via http AP-B

I then lose connectivity to AP-C periodically at a high rate. After resetting, power off/on either AP-A or AP-B then I can connect to AP-B and AP-C.

AP-A is connected to a booster to help boost the signal from AP-A to AP-B. This was working for afew months. Then when I connected AP-C this problem started occurring quite frequently.

I have setup two other similar setups and they are able to run without any dropping in signal since installation.

Looking forward to any help.

Thanks.
